CONTROL OF THE OCULAR MOVEMENTS BY THE EXTRA-OCULAR MUSCLES

The ocular movements are brought about by six muscles contained within the orbit that act either singly or in combination with each other in the production of deviations of the axis of the eyeball in all directions. These deviations take place as a result of volition or in response to reflex influences arising in other parts of the nervous system, conducted to the centers governing the eye movements by many different pathways.
