Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The oculomotor nerve helps to adjust and coordinate eye position during movement. Several movements assist with this process: saccades, smooth pursuit, fixation, accommodation, vestibulo-ocular reflex, and optokinetic reflex. Saccades are rapid, jerky motions of the eye.
Detailed explanation-2: -The function of the optic nerve is to transfer visual information from the retina to the vision centers of the brain via electrical impulses. Was this answer helpful?
Detailed explanation-3: -For each eye, six muscles work together to control eye position and movement. Two extraocular muscles, the medial rectus and lateral rectus, work together to control horizontal eye movements (Figure 8.1, left).
