Motor Units - how is tension developed?
Eye movements - definitions of stimulus & action
Dr. Busatini has an entire course on this subject, so we can
skip pages 143 -152, and 176-185.
VS 112 Ocular Anatomy
3. I. Just what sort of movements
do your eyes make?
Those which are you aware of, those that are
voluntary (or at least the initiation of them is
voluntary).
Reflex eye movements - automatic
adjustment of the eye position to stabilize an
image on the eye.
4. Eye movements
Smooth tracking (pursuit)
Combined head and eye tracking
Saccades – quick jumps, saccadic eye
movements (< 50 msec) (up to 20°) voluntary
initiation
Mini saccades (see fixation).
Fixation – holding a steady gaze (which we
never actually do – see figure 4.1).
5. Reflex eye movements.
The stimulus can be head/body
movement i) VOR vestibular ocular reflexes – if you
move your head the eyes can maintain fixation
upon the target.
ii) Optokinetic reflex : stimulus = rapid
motion of the world, such as motion of a stream,
or motion of world outside of the side car window.
Nystagmus (alternating slow & quick phases of
movement)
6. Reflex eye movements.
The stimulus can be movement,
motion of an object of interest.
iii) Smooth pursuit - one object is targeted
and remains clear on the retina the rest of the
visual world is in motion – the standard stimulus
for the optokinetic reflex,(only seen in foveate
animals)
iv) Fixation - holding a steady gaze on a
target of interest. NOT just a special form of
pursuit.
7. Fixation – holding a steady
gaze
The eyes are in constant motion
Slow drift
Minisaccades
Tremor (high frequency jitter in position)
aka micronystagmus.
In fact, if you could perfectly stabilize an image on
the retina it would fade and disappear. Some
retinal motion is necessary, that is some movement
of the image across the retina must be present or
the image fades.
9. Motion of an Eye
To describe eye motions we need a set of
defined axes (Fick’s Axes - draw on board)
X axis : nasal -> temporal
Y axis: anterior -> posterior
Z axis: superior -> inferior
These axes intersect at the center of rotation - a
fixed point, defined as 13.5 mm behind cornea.
10. Ductions (single eye movements)
Rotation about the Z axis (Z axis runs vertically
superior to inferior)
Medial Rotation - adduction toward midline
Lateral Rotation - abduction away from midline
Rotation about the X axis (X axis runs horizontally,
from nasal to temporal)
Upward, elevation (supraduction)
Downward, depression (infraduction)
11. Torsion - cyclorotations
Rotation about the Y axis (Y axis runs
horizontally, from anterior to posterior)
These are described with respect to a point at 12
o‘clock on the superior limbus
Intorsion (incyclorotation) rotation nasally
Extorsion (excyclorotation) rotation of the 12
o’clock position temporally.
Counteracting head tilt (up to 7-9°)
12. Version & Vergences
Some eye movements are paired, that is both
eyes do the same thing. . . . Versions
Sometimes eyes move in the opposite
directions simultaneously. . . Vergences
14. Versions (conjugate eye
movement)
Dextroversion - rightward gaze (demo)
Levoversion - leftward gaze
Supraversion - elevation
Infraversion - depression
Also up and right, up and left
Down and right, down and left
ALL BEHAVIOR IS THAT OF YOLKED EYES
15. Extraocular Muscles
4 rectus muscles - origin is in the common
tendous ring (annulus of Zinn)
Oval ring of connective tissue
Continuous with periorbita
Anterior to optic foramen
Medial and lateral rectus attached to both the
upper and lower tendon limbs
The muscles traveling from the this tendon ring
to the insertions create muscle cone.
17. Spiral of Tillaux
The rectus muscle pass through tenon’s
capsule and insert into the sclera.
The muscles insert at different distances from
the cornea.
The insertion pattern is a spiral with the
medial rectus closest to the cornea (5.5 mm)
and the superior rectus the furthest away
from the cornea (7.4 mm).
19. Medial Rectus
Originates on both the upper and lower limb
of the common tendous ring and the optic
nerve sheath.
Inserts along a vertical line 5.5 mm from the
cornea. The horizontal plane of eye bisects
the insertion.
Fascial expansion from muscle sheath forms
the medial check ligament and attach to
medial wall of orbit.
20. Medial Rectus cont.
Innervation is via cranial nerve III, the
oculomotor nerve, and the specific branch
runs along the inside of the muscle cone, on
the lateral surface.
The superior oblique, ophthalmic artery and
nasociliary nerve all lie above the medial
rectus.
22. Lateral rectus
Originates on both the upper and lower limb
of the common tendous ring. . .AND a
process of the greater wing of the sphenoid
bone.
Inserts parallel to medial rectus 6.9 mm from
the cornea. (Tendon 9.2 mm wide, 8.8 long).
Fascial expansion from muscle sheath forms
the lateral check ligament and attach to
lateral wall of orbit at Whitnalls tubercle.
23. Lateral Rectus cont.
Innervated by the abducens nerve, Cranial n
VI which enters the muscle on the medial
surface.
The lacrimal artery and nerve run along the
superior border.
The abducens n., ophthalmic artery and
ciliary ganglion lie medial to the lateral rectus
and between it and the optic nerve.
24. Superior Rectus
Originate on superior limb of the tendonous
ring, and optic nerve sheath.
Muscle passes forward underneath the
levator, but the two sheaths are connected
resulting in coordinated movements.
Insertion 7.4 mm from limbus, and obliquely.
The angle from the origin to the insertion is
23° beyond the sagital axis. (see overhead)
25. Superior Rectus cont.
Frontal nerve runs above the s. rectus & levat.
The nasociliary nerve and ophthalmic artery
run below.
The tendon for insertion of the superior
oblique muscle runs below the anterior part
of the superior rectus.
Innervationis via superior division of CN III,
from the inferior surface; additional branches
make their way to the levator.
26. Action of Superior Rectus
Primary action is elevation . . But since the
insertion on the globe is lateral as well as
superior, contraction will produce rotation
about the vertical axis toward midline
Thus secondary action is adduction
Finally, because the insertion is oblique,
contraction produces torsion nasally
Intorsion.
(overhead figure 10-13A)
27. Superior view of Sup.
Rectus
23°
Because the muscle runs at an angle to the Fick’s axes, contraction
is not confined to one axis
28. Inferior rectus
Originates on lower limb of common
tendonous ring.
Inserts 6.7 mm from limbus, insertion is an arc
It is parallel to superior rectus, making a 23°
angle beyond the sagittal axis.
Innervated by inferior division of CN III which
runs above it (within the muscle cone).
Below is the floor of the orbit and inf. oblique
29. Inferior Rectus cont.
Fascial attachments below attached to
inferior lid coordinate depression and lid
opening.
Fascia below Inf. Rectus and Inf. Oblique
contribute to the suspensory ligament of
lockwood.
Primary Action downward gaze depression
2° Adduction, as is the case for sup. Rectus
Also extorsion due to oblique arc of insertion.
31. Superior Oblique
Anatomical origin is on the lesser wing of the
sphenoid bone. The physiological origin is the
trochlea, a cartilagenous “U” on the superior
medial wall of the orbit.
Longest thinnest EOM, the muscle ends before
the trochlea, tendon is 2.5 cm, smooth
movement through trochlea.
Innervation by CN IV, the trochlear nerve
posterior in the orbit.
32. Action of Sup. Oblique
Primary action is intorsion _ rotation of 12
o’clock position toward midline.
Because the insertion of the oblique muscle is
in the lateral, posterior quadrant the
secondary actions are
Rotating the back half of the globe from lateral to
medial (the anterior pole will move away)
ABDUCTION
Also depression (posterior superior quadrant of
the globe being pulled upward).
33. Inferior Oblique
Originates on the maxillary bone inferior to the
nasolacrimal fossa. The ONLY EOM originating
in the anterior orbit.
Inserts on the posterior lateral aspect of globe
mostly inferior, below the ant.-post. horizontal
plane.
Innervation from inferior division of CN III inserts
on the upper surface (within muscle cone.)
35. Action of Inf. Oblique
Primary is extorsion
2° is due to posterior, lateral, inferior
insertion being pulled around, underneath
globe and toward the anterior inferior
insertion medially.
Rotation about the Z axis will be nasal to
temporal (abduction).
Rotation about the X axis will be elevation
(see overhead figure 10.14)
36. And from here it’s
complicated
There is a balance of tension in the pairs of
muscle to start with. . . .
Actions of the muscle can and do depend on the
starting position.
For example elevation of the eye in the straight-
ahead position and lateral position is
accomplished by the sup. rectus.
But when the eye is medial rotated elevation is
accomplished by the inferior oblique muscle action.
(see fig 10-17 over head).
40. Thick & thin filaments
Elements within, between the Z-lines make up a contractile unit
41. Ratchet Model
Myosin head binds to actin
filament.
The ratchet motion moves
the two filament about 12
nm with respect to each
other.
It takes only 5 ms
Because of the large number
of z-line segments or
contractile units along a
fiber, a fast motion is
attained.
42. Thick and thin filament
specializations with EOM
Each motor fiber is innervated by only one nerve
43. Extraocular muscles are
special
The motor units are small, with only from 5 to
18 muscle fibers contact by each motor nerve
A motor nerve can and does contact more than one fiber usually 100’s
44. EOM’s are special
THICK FIBERS

Graded contractionsGraded contractions
45. Thick and thin filament
specializations with EOM
Each motor fiber is innervated by only one nerve
47. A single nerve impulse
Generates a muscle AP and
contraction - tension.
Multiple nerve AP’s
Tensions sum over time
Repetitive firing results in a
sustained contraction.
Tetanus (unresolved
individual twitches).
48. 3 Basic types of motor
units
Slow Fast-fatigue resistant Fast- fatigable
49. Cat gastroc muscle
ATPase activity at neurtral pH
ATPase activity at acidic pH
NADH dehydrogenase stain
50. Recruitment within the
motor nerve
Groups of cell bodies innervating the same
muscle make up a MOTOR NUCLEUS
. . . .and give rise to a motor nerve.
Nerves within a motor nerve are activated in
a characteristic sequence - the size principle.
Smaller fibers, fire first, and larger later
There is a characteristic pattern of recruitment,
tension is added and removed in a repeated pattern.
51. Muscle Spindle & Golgi
Tendon Organs
Specialized sensory organs
within the muscle provide
feed back to the brain.
How much tension is in the
muscle?
Is there any stretch imposed?
What is muscle length?
EOM’s do not have the typical
stretch reflex
Notas do Editor
Perimysium - coverage of a groups of muscle fibers with connective tissue
Coverage of the entire muscle is by another connective tissue sheath the epimysium which merges with tenon’s capsule.
EOM have thin fibers with unusual neuromuscular junctions. En Grappe
The mean diam is 20 µm, compared to 100 µm in typical skelatal muscles. The range is 10 to 50 µm
The distinction between thick and thin is population with overlap and really based on the nerve endings.
However there is something known as the oculocardiac reflex. - passive stretching of the EOM can slow, DRASTICALLY SLOW , or STOP!! The heart!!!
