Detailed explanation-1: -The oculomotor nerve is the third cranial nerve (CN III). It allows movement of the eye muscles, constriction of the pupil, focusing the eyes and the position of the upper eyelid. Cranial nerve III works with other cranial nerves to control eye movements and support sensory functioning.
Detailed explanation-2: -The oculomotor nerve (III), which exits from the rostral midbrain near the cerebral peduncle, supplies all the rest of the extraocular muscles.
