name the muscle that controls the eyelid
levator palpebrae superioris
which cranial nerve supplies the:
Superior Rectus
LPS
3rd (cranial) - superior divison
which cranial nerve supplies the:
medial rectus
inferior rectus
inferior oblique
3rd (cranial) - inferior division
which cranial nerve supplies the superior oblique
4th (trochlear)
which cranial nerve supplies the lateral rectus
6th (abducens)
what is the anatomical origin of the recti muscles?
annulus of Zinn
where is the mechanical origin of the recti muscles?
10mm posterior to the equator of globe
as the muscle contracts, the cornea rotates …. the body of the muscle itself
(fill in the gap)
towards
what is the primary action of the medial rectus?
inwards
what is the primary action of the lateral rectus?
outwards
what is the primary action of the Superior Rectus?
upwards
what is the primary action of the inferior rectus?
downwards
what is the anatomical origin of superior oblique
annulus of zinn
what is the anatomical origin of inferior oblique
anterior infero-nasal corner
where is the mechanical origin superior oblique?
anterior supero-nasal corner of orbital rim
where is the mechanical origin of the inferior oblique ?
anterior and inferior to globe, copies to IR tendon
what is the primary action of superior oblique
the cornea moves away from the body of the muscle therefore
downwards
what is the primary action of the inferior oblique?
the cornea moves away from the body of the muscle and therefore
upwards
downwards movement is known as
depression
upwards movement is known as
elevation
which 2 recti are concentric with limbus
MR and LR
which 2 recti are tilted slightly nasally
SR and IR
list the insertions of the muscles, starting with closest to limbus to furthest
MR (5.5mm away)
IR (6.5mm)
LR (7mm)
SR (7.5mm)
