Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The extraocular muscles are the six muscles, which are responsible for controlling the movement of the eye. One of the muscles is responsible for controlling the elevation of the eye. The working of six muscles altogether is responsible for the movement of the eye and this depends on the position of the eye at the time of muscle contraction.
