48
Q

what is rotation of only ONE single eye termed

49
Q

A

length of muscle + tendon, edge of orbit & soft tissue of the orbit

50
Q

  • supraduction (elevation)
  • infraduction (depression)
52
Q

what is the duction (single eye) term for elevation

53
Q

54
Q

55
Q

56
Q

what is the duction (single eye) term for intorsion

57
Q

what are oblique movements a combination of

A

horizontal and vertical movements

moves the globe into various oblique positions e.g. up and to the right or down and to the left etc

58
Q

what is primary position of gaze

A

when the eyes are looking straight ahead with body and head erect

59
Q

what happens to the contraction of a muscle when that muscle axis of rotation coincides with one of fick’s axis or rotation e.g. z horizontal, x vertical or y torsional axis

A

contraction of that muscle will produce a rotation purely around that particular axis
e.g. if the lateral rectus axis of rotation coincides with the z axis, it will be purely horizontal or if it coincides with the x axis, it will be purely vertical

60
Q

what is the muscle plane

A

a point where the muscle first touches the globe (tangental point) and the centre of rotation i.e. the orientation that is inserts into the eye

61
Q

what is a muscle axis of rotation perpendicular to

A

the muscle plane (the orientation that it inserts into the eye) e.g. if a muscle inserts vertically it will only produce horizontal movements

62
Q

in primary position what does the horizontal rectus muscles axis of rotation completely coincide with of fick’s axis and hat contraction does that muscle produce as a result

A

z axis of rotation, produces a pure rotation around the vertical axis so NO vertical nor torsional component

Q

which EOMs have only one action which is their primary and only action

A

medial rectus - adduction

lateral rectus - abduction
