The nerves innervating the extraocular muscles are the motoneuron, the buccal nerve, and the abducens nerve.
The extraocular muscles consist of the rectus superior, rectus inferior, rectus medialis, rectus externus, obliquus superior, and obliquus inferior. The rectus superior, rectus inferior, rectus medialis, and obliquus inferior are innervated by the motoneuron, while the obliquus superior is innervated by the gliding nerve and the rectus externus is innervated by the abducens nerve.
The extraocular muscles, together with other eye muscles, are responsible for the rotation of the eyeball. When the innervating nerves are abnormal, or when there are abnormalities in the attachment point or length of the extraocular muscles, it will lead to strabismus and other diseases.
It is recommended that patients with abnormal eye rotation be treated in a hospital in a timely manner, have their condition evaluated, and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
