What extrinsic eye muscle turns the eye up and laterally?
Superior Rectus allows you to look Up & In, whiel the Superior Oblique allows you to look Up & Out.
What eye muscle control the movement of the eye?

The superior oblique pulls the eye to look down and laterally and the inferior oblique pull the eye to look um and medialy.
What extrinsic eye muscle turns the eye medially?
The Medial Rectus.
What is the Trochlea of the superior oblique muscle of the eye?
The Trochlea Nerve (cranial nerve 4) controls the superior oblique muscle of the eye. It turns the eye laterally and downwards.
What nerve governs most of the extrinsic eye muscle?
Trochlear Nerve innervates Superior Oblique(extrinsic eye muscle)Oculomotor Nerve innervates Inferior Oblique, Superior Rectus, Inferior Rectus, and Medial Rectus (which are all extrinsic eye muscles) along with Ciliary Body, and the Iris (which are both intrinsic eye muscles)Abducens Nerve innervates Lateral Rectus(extrinsic eye muscle)
What does the inferior oblique muscle of the eye do?
The inferior oblique muscle of the eye, abducts, elevates and laterally rotates the eye
Cranial nerve involved in vision and visual fields?
The optic nerve (purely sensory; carry afferent impulses for vision) Oculomotor (innervates four of the extrinsic eye muscles) Trochlear (innervates an extrinsic eye muscle that hooks through a pulley-shaped ligament in the orbit) Abducens (innervates the muscle that turns abducts the eyeball)
What extrinsic eye muscle would cause lateral strabismus of the right eye?
lateral rectus
What extrinsic eye muscles are controlled during the convergence reflex?
The voluntary muscles of the eye is the extrinsic eye muscle that are controlled during the convergence reflex. The convergence reflex is keen on keeping the eye alert.
What is the condition caused by unequal tension exerted by the extrinsic eye muscle?
strabismus
Why is it more of a strain on the intrinsic and extrinsic eye muscle to look at the close objects than at far objects?
extrinsic muscles are strained
