Session 8- Extraocular eye muscles, actions and testing Flashcards
what does binocular vision allow
wider field of vision and depth perception
what is conjugate eye movement
eyes need to coordinate and move together
what causes diplopia
misalignment of two visual axes image focuses on different area of each retina
-brain unable to fuse these see 2 separate images
what is diplopia
double vision
2 images seen can be displaced horizontal, vertical and diagonally
what are the for recti
superior
inferior
lateral
medial
what are the 2 obliques
superior
inferior
where do extra-ocular muscle attach
sclera
where do extraocular muscles riginate
apex of orbit except inferior oblique which arises from the floor of orbital cavity anteriorly
-the 4 recti originate from a common tendinous ring
what innervates the extra ocular muscles
LR6SO4
Lateral rectus- 6- abducens
Superior oblique- 4 -Trochlear
all remaining occulolotor
why do some muscles attach at an oblique angle
the muscles run in line with the axis of orbit
-confers several actions of movement on globe for some of the extra ocular muscles
which muscles have a single action on the eye
Medial rectus and lateral rectus
what movement is moving the eye medially
adduction
what movement is moving the eye laterally
abduction
what muscles adducts the eye
medial rectus
what muscle abducts the eye
lateral rectus
what is the action of superior rectus if starting from primary resting gaze
elevate
slightly adducts
slightly intorts
when is the superior rectus a more powerful elevator
when the eye is positioned laterally
where does superior rectus inserts
superior anteriolateral surface
