  2. Inferior rectus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_rectus_muscle

    The inferior rectus muscle is supplied by an inferior muscular branch of the ophthalmic artery. [1] It may also be supplied by a branch of the infraorbital artery. [1] It is drained by the corresponding veins: the inferior muscular branch of the ophthalmic vein, and sometimes a branch of the infraorbital vein. [1]

    Medial rectus muscle, 43. Lateral rectus muscle, 44. Sphenoid bone. There are many diseases, disorders, and age-related changes that may affect the eyes and surrounding structures. As the eye ages, certain changes occur that can be attributed solely to the aging process. Most of these anatomic and physiologic processes follow a gradual decline.

  6. Extraocular muscles - Wikipedia

    The last muscle is the inferior oblique, which originates at the lower front of the nasal orbital wall, passes inferiorly over the inferior rectus muscle on its path laterally and posteriorly, and inserts under the lateral rectus muscle on the lateral, posterior part of the globe. Thus, the inferior oblique pulls the eye upward and laterally.

  7. Oculomotor nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oculomotor_nerve

    The inferior branch of the oculomotor nerve or the inferior division, the larger, divides into three branches. One passes beneath the optic nerve to the medial rectus. Another, to the inferior rectus. The third and longest runs forward between the inferior recti and lateralis to the inferior oblique.

  9. Eye movement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_movement

    In the primary position (eyes straight ahead), both of these groups contribute to vertical movement. Elevation is due to the action of the superior rectus and inferior oblique muscles, while depression is due to the action of the inferior rectus and superior oblique muscles. When the eye is abducted, the recti muscles are the prime vertical movers.
