Detailed explanation-1: -The inferior oblique muscle or obliquus oculi inferior is a thin, narrow muscle placed near the anterior margin of the floor of the orbit. The inferior oblique is one of the extraocular muscles, and is attached to the maxillary bone (origin) and the posterior, inferior, lateral surface of the eye (insertion).

Detailed explanation-2: -Like the other eye muscles, inferior oblique is named by its position within the orbit, relative to the eyeball. It occupies the inferior aspect of the orbit, encircling the lower portion of the eyeball. The primary action of this muscle is to elevate and abduct (laterally move) the eyeball.

Detailed explanation-3: -The inferior rectus muscle is a muscle in the orbit near the eye. It is one of the four recti muscles in the group of extraocular muscles. It originates from the common tendinous ring, and inserts into the anteroinferior surface of the eye. It depresses the eye (downwards).

Detailed explanation-4: -What is the diaphragm? The diaphragm is a muscle that helps you inhale and exhale (breathe in and out). This thin, dome-shaped muscle sits below your lungs and heart.
