What are the six extraocular muscles that control the movement of the eye?

• Rectus muscles (superior, inferior, medial, and lateral) and the oblique muscles (superior and inferior)

• Front, back, left, and right muscles

• Upper, lower, middle, and side muscles

• Circular, spiral, diagonal, and vertical muscles

Which eye muscle is responsible for moving the eye inward towards the nose?

• Lateral rectus muscle

• Superior rectus muscle

• Medial rectus muscle

• Inferior rectus muscle

What is the function of the superior rectus muscle?

• Elevating the eye and rotating it medially

• Depressing the eye and rotating it laterally

• Closing the eye and protecting it from foreign objects

• Moving the eye in a circular motion

Which eye muscle is responsible for moving the eye downward and inward?

• Inferior oblique muscle

• Lateral rectus muscle

• Superior oblique muscle

• Superior rectus muscle

What is the role of the inferior oblique muscle in eye movement?

• No role in eye movement

• Upward and outward movement of the eye

• Downward and inward movement of the eye

• Side to side movement of the eye

What is the function of the lateral rectus muscle?

• Moving the eye up and down

• Widening the eye

• Abducting the eye

• Closing the eye

Which eye muscle is responsible for moving the eye upward and outward?

• Medial rectus muscle

• Inferior rectus muscle

• Superior rectus muscle

• Lateral rectus muscle

What is the function of the medial rectus muscle?

• To move the eye up and down.

• To move the eye outward away from the nose.

• To move the eye inward towards the nose.

• To control blinking.

What is the role of the inferior rectus muscle in eye movement?

• Sideways movement of the eye

• No role in eye movement

• Downward movement and inward rotation of the eye

• Upward movement and outward rotation of the eye

Which eye muscle is responsible for moving the eye upward and inward?

• Medial rectus muscle
