What are the different eye muscles?

eye muscles include side, medium, lower and superior rectus, lower oblique and superior oblique. In the bone structure supporting the eye, all except one of these muscles - the lower oblique - forms a cone, with its point directly behind the eyeball. This point is called a zinn ring and it is a point through which the optical nerve stretches into the eye. When receiving signals from the brain through the optical nerve, the muscles of the eye - also known as extraocular muscles - the movements of the eye. The rectus side muscles are opposite the media rectus. It hangs horizontally and supports the eyeball side furthest from the nose and provides eye movements from the nose.

At the top of the eye is a superior rectus and is toughly responsible for moving the eye up. It also helps move the eye downwards and can turn the eye towards the upper part of the nose. The lower rectus forms the bottom of the muscles cone and is placed on the bottom of the eye. Its primary purpose is to move the eye up, but can also move the eye from the nose and rotate in.

Excellent oblique differs from other four muscles that form a cone. Before attaching to the eye, the trochlea, tendons, which serve as a pulley and is connected to the upper nasal structure next to the eye. Its primary purpose is to turn the upper part of the eye towards the nose, but it can also help move the eye down and out. The lower oblique does not connect to the cone or zinn ring, but instead runs under the eye and connects the upper nasal structure to the outside of the eye. Can turn the eye away from the nose and move the eye out and up.

The

eye muscles are considered "joked" together to provide current and synchronized movements in both eyes. For example, the right side rectus works simultaneously with the left media rectum that allows you to look to the right. Also, although the muscles are designed to allow one to converge his eyes in, or become crossed by his eyes, one cannot voluntarily avert his eyes. Eye muscles can often be repaired by surgery if they can'tto work properly.
