EOMs Flashcards
henry’s law of equal innervation
innervation to the muscles of the two eyes is equal and simultaneous
MR pathway
parallel medial orbital wall –> pass through CT pulley –> follows curve of globe
I band
light skeletal muscle only actin (double helix)
add- muscle
muscle is perpendicular, only torsional movement- no vertical
spiral of tillaux
based on the closeness of insetion
LR insertion
6.9mm from limbus
epimysium
holds all of the muscles together connective tissue
what do muscles do for eyes
- stabilize the eye while the other EOMs are working/moving
- ensure that the EOM action that is wanted is the only motion happening
right gaze
dexi version
what muscles elevate
SR, IO
primary position: SR secondary acton
SR secondary: intortion (y axis)
adduction (z axis)
muscle movement: perpendiclar
only torsional (y-axis)
primary position: IR primary
IR primary: depression (x axis)
SO origin
anatomical: lesser wing og sphenoid
effective: trochlea
synergistic/agonist
muscles work together to accomplish the same action
OMT- VEM
adducted position
if eye does not elevate
IO
SO pathway
-anterior through trochlea –> reverse posteriorly to the insertion of the eye –>
movement in primary position
horizontal rectus muscles
horizontal rectus muscles only have one action
thyroid eye disease
muscles turn red + can be seen on the eye
EOM assessment
do cover test to find primary gaze problem
SR innervation
superior division of CN3
SO insertion
superior, posterior, lateral globe
when do you get pain with retrobulbar ON
converging + nasally (MR + SR)
insertion
on something that moves; end
antagonist muscles
work in opposite direction
what muscles depress
IR, SO
depression
infraversion
what muscles abduct
LR, SO, IO
left gaze
levo version
what muscles adduct
MR, SR, IR
So angle
55
actin
thinner fiber, double helix formation, w/in the grooves you find troponin and tropomyosin
H zone
contains only myosin
what muscles extort
IO, IR
primary position: IR secondary
IR secondary: extortion (y-axis)
adduction (z- axis)
primary gaze
straight ahead into the distance
myosin
thicker protein, composed of all shafts with head on the end- long filament- 2 heads at each end
sarcolemma
plasma membrane- surrounds muscle fibers- contains sarcoplasm
primary position: IO primary
IO primary: extorsion (y-axis)
origin of the rectus muscles
CTR
sarcoplasm
cytoplasm
nuclei, ER, muscle fibers- contracts in the muscle
MR innervation
inferior division of CN 3
what is the functional origin of the muscles
pulley
tertiary position
vertical + horizontal gazes
-up and left, right and down
IR origin
CTR
IR innervation
inferior division of CN3
IO angle
51
OMT-VEM
adducted position
if eye does not depress
SO
list the closest to farthest insertion of rectus muscles
MR, IR, LR, SR
