    What applies to the lateral rectus? - ProProfs

    What applies to the lateral rectus?

    • Adduction

    • CN III

    • CN VI

    • Elevation

    • Abduction

    • Depression

    • Extosion

    • Intorsion

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. CN VI
    A. Abduction
    Explanation
    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.

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Anterior aspects of bony orbit (medial wall close to the nasolacrimal canal)
    Explanation
    The origin of the inferior oblique muscle is the anterior aspects of the bony orbit, specifically the medial wall close to the nasolacrimal canal. The annulus of Zinn and the sclera are not the origins of the inferior oblique muscle.

    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.

    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.

    A. Elevation
    A. Abduction
    A. Extorsion
    Explanation
    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.

    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.

    What applies to the medial rectus? - ProProfs

    What applies to the medial rectus?

    • Adduction

    • CN III

    • CN VI

    • Elevation

    • Abduction

    • Depression

    • Extosion

    • Intorsion

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Adduction
    A. CN III
    Explanation
    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.

    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.

    • Extosion

    • Intorsion

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Adduction
    A. CN III
    A. Depression
    A. Extosion
    Explanation
    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.

    What applies to the superior oblique? - ProProfs

    What applies to the superior oblique?

    • Adduction

    • CN III

    • CN IV

    • Elevation

    • Abduction

    • Depression

    • Extosion

    • Intorsion

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. CN IV
    A. Abduction
    A. Depression
    A. Intorsion
    Explanation
    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.

    Which of the following are intraocular muscles? (pick 2) - ProProfs

    Which of the following are intraocular muscles? (pick 2)

    • Ciliary muscle

    • Pupil

    • Iris

    • Tarsal muscle

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Ciliary muscle
    A. Iris
    Explanation
    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.
