The Extraocular Muscles

Explore the muscles and nerves that control our voluntary eye movements with this interactive educational 3D module. The human eye can look in every direction with the combined actions of six long, flat muscles: the superior oblique, inferior oblique, and four recti muscles. The Extraocular Muscles app identifies relevant anatomy and helps learners trace muscle activity from the cranial nerve nuclei to the resultant axial rotation. This module includes a timed quiz mode with randomized, thought-provoking questions relating to the anatomy and function of these muscles. FEATURES -Touch functionality that allows viewers to study the anatomy from every angle: Swipe to rotate, pinch to zoom, and two-finger swipe to shift perspective. -Arrow buttons that initiate action potentials and activate eye muscles, rotating the eyes toward the chosen direction -ID buttons that activate descriptions of the associated anatomy -A glossary of relevant anatomical terms -A timed quiz mode with randomized questions that encourage learners to integrate key concepts DEVELOPER Bethea Medical Media develops illustrations, animations, and interactive experiences to communicate concepts and discoveries related to the health sciences.
