Musculus rectus lateralis

The video tutorial provides a comprehensive overview of the rectus lateralis muscle, one of the six outer eye muscles. It covers the muscle's origin from the annulus tendinosis, its attachment to the antero-lateral surface of the eye, and its function in eye abduction. The muscle is innervated by the abducens nerve and receives blood supply from the anterior ciliary artery, a branch of the ophthalmic artery.
