Muscles of the eye - extraocular muscles and movements

  • The muscles that move the eye within the orbit appear straightforward at first sight, but the ways in which they work together to move the eye can lead to confusion. Let's look at the anatomy!
    When looking medially, the superior oblique muscle depresses the eyeball/direction of the pupil & the inferior oblique elevates the eyeball. Not what I said at the end of the video. The cranial nerves of the extraocular muscles will describe this more slowly & clearly. I hope.

    This video is highly underrated! I could not for the life of me understand why the Superior oblique caused depression (and the converse, why the Inferior oblique caused elevation). I had watched several videos (KenHub and AnatomyZone) and they all just stated the actions of the muscles. Dr. Webster here was the only one who took the time to explain the axes of the eye, and how the various muscles crossing those axes result in their primary and secondary eye movements.
    BTW the answer to my question was that the Superior oblique actually runs anterior to posterior, so when it contracts, it pulls the anterior portion of the eye downwards! Hence the depression. I'm sure I'm not the only one who had that problem haha.
    Dr. Webster, you've got yourself an extra subscriber! Thanks for the great, hands-on explanation!

    • @hiefia8568

      @@expectopeetrrronium7349 muscles have an origin point and an insertion. When they contract, they move the organ they are attached to toward the direction of their origin.
      The superior oblique muscle moves from the back of the orbit( posteriorly) along the side( medially) until it gets to the trochlea where it switches direction from medially to laterally. From here it moves from front to back( anterior to position).
      The ability of the superior oblique to depress the eye occurs when the eye is moved medially. I think this eliminates the contribution of the medial to lateral angulation of the muscle.
      Hence your eye is stuck with only the influence of the anterior to posterior angulation.
      And since the muscle will pull towards the origin and since the anterior has become the "origin" in a sense, your eye will move from back to front. But remember that the eye is now adducted ( medial ) so your final eye direction will be down toward the side( ie inferomedially).

    While it's easy to just memorize the actions, it's hard to really understand it deeply - thank you so much for not being concise and really care to explain the logic behind it all! 👏 Your video was, amongst all the other videos I've watched and all the descriptions I've read in textbooks, what helped me most! I'm sure your channel will be accompanying me through the rest of med' school 🤗🙏

I agree with you that these take a bit studying, but it’s now much more better after your explanation. Thanks again!!

    Excellent lecture, especially the part where the bony cavity AP axis that holds the eyeball and muscles is actually laterally deviated. So when pupils appear to be in the center of the eyeball the pupils are actually medial to the bony AP axis. This is why the eye muscles cannot work in isolation. Because the muscles are attached past the vertical and horizontal equators the eyeball, contractions of the eye muscle cause the eyeball to move along multiple planes. This is why the inferior oblique muscle pulls the eyeball up and out. The name of the muscle is just its location not its function. How this was engineered is incredible.

  • @rajatsingh24k
    @rajatsingh24k 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The insertion points and the fact that the axis of the eyeball in the normal physiological setting (baseline) is different from the axis of the orbit are key. Watched 4 other videos before this one and they were all sh**. This video is the only one so far that made this concept clear. What an amazing teacher. Med schools should just show Dr. Webster's videos for anatomy and save everyone a ton of time!

    I would really appreciate some advice.
    I’ve been getting headaches for over 20 years. After watching this video I suspect it’s due to over straining of my superior oblique (this is the location of the pain). Pain is always above left eye. I believe my left eye is lower than my right and I tilt my head to the right to compensate for this. Would this situation put more strain on my superior Oblique muscle? Thanks for any help!
