There are six extraocular muscles that control movement of the eyeball: the superior and inferior rectus muscles, the medial and lateral rectus muscles, and the superior and inferior oblique muscles. These muscles originate from various parts of the orbit and insert into the sclera. Each muscle is innervated by a specific cranial nerve and has primary, secondary, and tertiary actions responsible for moving the eyeball in different directions.
