Which of the following are intraocular muscles? (pick 2)
- A.
Ciliary muscle
- B.
Pupil
- C.
Iris
- D.
Tarsal muscle
Correct Answer(s)
A. Ciliary muscle
C. IrisExplanation
The ciliary muscle and iris are both intraocular muscles. The ciliary muscle is responsible for controlling the shape of the lens, which allows the eye to focus on objects at different distances. The iris, on the other hand, controls the size of the pupil, regulating the amount of light that enters the eye. Both of these muscles are located within the eye itself and play important roles in vision. The tarsal muscle, on the other hand, is not an intraocular muscle, as it is located in the eyelid and is involved in blinking and opening/closing the eye.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
A. The superior (and inferior)oblique forms a 54 degree angle with the visual axis
C. The superior (and inferior) rectus forms a 23 degree angle with the visual axisExplanation

If the eye is adducted the superior oblique is the only EOM that depresses the eye
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
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:

When the eye is adducted about 67 degrees what is the only action of the vertical recti EOMs (SR and IR)
- A.
Torsion
- B.
Elevation
- C.
Depression
- D.
There is more than one action
Correct Answer
A. TorsionExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
A. Adduction
B. CN IIIExplanation
The medial rectus muscle is responsible for adduction, which is the movement of the eye towards the midline. CN III, also known as the oculomotor nerve, innervates the medial rectus muscle and controls its movement. This nerve supplies motor fibers to the muscle, allowing it to contract and move the eye medially.Rate this question:

Intorsion
Correct Answer(s)
C. CN VI
E. AbductionExplanation
The correct answer is CN VI, Abduction. The lateral rectus muscle is responsible for the movement of the eye called abduction, which is the movement of the eye away from the midline of the body. CN VI, also known as the abducens nerve, innervates the lateral rectus muscle and controls its contraction. This allows the eye to move laterally, away from the nose.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
A. Adduction
B. CN III
D. Elevation
H. IntorsionExplanation
The superior rectus muscle is responsible for elevation, adduction, and intorsion of the eye. It is innervated by the oculomotor nerve (CN III). Adduction refers to the movement of the eye towards the midline, elevation refers to the upward movement of the eye, and intorsion refers to the inward rotation of the eye. Therefore, all of the given options apply to the superior rectus muscle.Rate this question:

Intorsion
Correct Answer(s)
A. Adduction
B. CN III
F. Depression
G. ExtosionExplanation
The inferior rectus muscle is responsible for certain movements of the eye. It is involved in adduction, which refers to the movement of the eye towards the midline. It is innervated by cranial nerve III (CN III), also known as the oculomotor nerve, which controls the movement of several eye muscles. The muscle also contributes to depression, which is the downward movement of the eye. However, extorsion, which refers to the rotation of the top of the eye away from the midline, is not applicable to the inferior rectus muscle.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
C. CN IV
E. Abduction
F. Depression
H. IntorsionExplanation
The superior oblique muscle is innervated by cranial nerve IV, also known as the trochlear nerve. It is responsible for the movements of abduction (moving the eye away from the midline), depression (moving the eye downward), and intorsion (rotating the top of the eye inward). Therefore, the correct answer includes CN IV, abduction, depression, and intorsion.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
B. CN III
D. Elevation
E. Abduction
G. ExtorsionExplanation
The correct answer is CN III, Elevation, Abduction, and Extorsion. CN III refers to the oculomotor nerve, which innervates the inferior oblique muscle. Elevation refers to the upward movement of the eye, which is one of the actions performed by the inferior oblique. Abduction refers to the outward movement of the eye, another action performed by the inferior oblique. Extorsion refers to the outward rotation of the eye, which is also a function of the inferior oblique muscle.Rate this question:

What is coordinated binocular movement? (Select all that apply)
- A.
Vergences
- B.
Gazes
- C.
Duction
- D.
Versions
Correct Answer(s)
A. Vergences
B. Gazes
D. VersionsExplanation
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.Rate this question:

What law applies to vergence movements of yoked muscles?
- A.
Sherrington's law
- B.
Hering's law
- C.
Harrington's law
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Hering's lawExplanation
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.Rate this question:

- A.
Sherrington's law
- B.
Hering's law
- C.
Harrington's law
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Hering's lawExplanation
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)?
- A.
Sherrington's law
- B.
Hering's law
- C.
Harrington's law
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Sherrington's lawExplanation
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.Rate this question:
