    If the eye is adducted the superior oblique is the only EOM that depresses the eye - ProProfs

    If the eye is adducted the superior oblique is the only EOM that depresses the eye

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When the eye is adducted, it means that it is turned inward towards the nose. The superior oblique muscle is responsible for depressing or moving the eye downward. In this position, the other extraocular muscles (EOMs) that control eye movement do not contribute to the downward movement of the eye. Therefore, it can be concluded that if the eye is adducted, the superior oblique is the only EOM that depresses the eye.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 
    When the eye is adducted about 67 degrees what is the only action of the vertical recti EOMs (SR and IR) - ProProfs

    When the eye is adducted about 67 degrees what is the only action of the vertical recti EOMs (SR and IR)

    • Torsion

    • Elevation

    • Depression

    • There is more than one action

    Correct Answer
    A. Torsion
    Explanation
    When the eye is adducted about 67 degrees, the only action of the vertical recti EOMs (SR and IR) is torsion. Torsion refers to the rotation of the eye around its visual axis. In this case, the vertical recti muscles are responsible for rotating the eye inwards or outwards, causing torsional movement. The other actions mentioned, such as elevation and depression, are not applicable in this specific scenario.

    What is coordinated binocular movement? (Select all that apply)

    • Vergences

    • Gazes

    • Duction

    • Versions

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Vergences
    A. Gazes
    A. Versions
    Explanation
    Coordinated binocular movement refers to the synchronized movement of both eyes to maintain binocular vision. Vergences are the inward and outward movements of the eyes to focus on objects at different distances. Gazes are the directed eye movements towards specific targets. Versions are the coordinated movements of both eyes in the same direction. All of these factors contribute to coordinated binocular movement.

    What law applies to vergence movements of yoked muscles? - ProProfs

    What law applies to vergence movements of yoked muscles?

    • Sherrington's law

    • Hering's law

    • Harrington's law

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Hering's law
    Explanation
    Hering's law applies to vergence movements of yoked muscles. This law states that when the eyes converge or diverge to focus on a near or far object, there is an equal and opposite movement of the two eyes. This ensures that the eyes move in a coordinated manner and maintain binocular vision. Sherrington's law refers to the reciprocal innervation of agonist and antagonist muscles, while Harrington's law is not a recognized law in relation to vergence movements.

    What law applies to vergence movements of yoked muscles? - ProProfs

    What law applies to vergence movements of yoked muscles?

    • Sherrington's law

    • Hering's law

    • Harrington's law

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Hering's law
    Explanation
    Hering's law applies to vergence movements of yoked muscles. This law states that when both eyes move inward or outward to focus on an object, the muscles controlling the movement of the eyes work in a coordinated manner. The law explains that when the eyes converge (move inward), the medial rectus muscles contract, while the lateral rectus muscles relax. Conversely, when the eyes diverge (move outward), the lateral rectus muscles contract, while the medial rectus muscles relax. This coordination ensures that both eyes are aligned and focused on the same object.

    Rate this question:

    What law applies to Ductions (antagonistic muscles)? - ProProfs

    What law applies to Ductions (antagonistic muscles)?

    • Sherrington's law

    • Hering's law

    • Harrington's law

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Sherrington's law
    Explanation
    Sherrington's law applies to Ductions (antagonistic muscles). This law states that when one muscle is activated, its antagonist muscle is inhibited, allowing for smooth and coordinated movement. This law helps to explain how muscles work together to produce controlled and balanced movements.
