Talk:Muscles of orbit

How good is that? You need to remember exactly as much to use and unpackage it as you have to remember the innervations in the first place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.140.255.127 (talk) 20:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Merging "Muscles of orbit" and "Extraocular muscles"
"Muscles of the orbit" gets 467 Google hits; "Extraocular muscles" gets 105,000. AED 23:02, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Per the above, Extraocular muscles should not merge into Muscles of the orbit. "Extraocular muscles" is typically used to describe the six muscles that control the eye movements; however, the levator palpebrae superioris and superior tarsal muscle are literally "extraocular". I'll bring this up in WikiProject Ophthalmology. -AED 00:45, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand - does this mean "Extraocular muscles" refers to 6 and/or the 2 others you mentioned? 86.1.105.242 21:21, 24 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I believe they are called "extraocular muscles," because the muscle itself is located outside of the eye, not because of where they attach/originate. There are muscles located inside of the eye as well - the dilatator pupillae, sphincter pupillae, ciliary muscles.  Those muscles might be called the intraocular muscles.

I hope that any body answer me!!
Why is the method of examing the inferior and superior oblique muscles differs form their action? i.e. we exam the inferior oblique muscle by asking the patient to rotate his eye up and in, while its action is to rotate the eye ball so that the cornea looks up and laterally (out). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ammsenosy (talk • contribs) 08:01, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Picture on top
Have a look at what we did in the German Wikipedia. Move the mouse cursor over the picture and/or click. Maybe you want to adopt that. Anka Friedrich (talk) 11:34, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Wow, that is great! Looks like we have only the image here, without the function revealing the name of each muscle as you scroll over the image.  I'll copy the code and see about getting that to work in English.  Thanks!  Rytyho usa (talk) 21:55, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
