Cranial nerves III, IV and VI

The video tutorial covers cranial nerves 3, 4, and 6, focusing on their roles in innervating extraocular muscles. The oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve 3) is discussed in detail, highlighting its somatic and visceral motor functions, including innervation of the eye muscles, pupil, and lens. The trochlear nerve (cranial nerve 4) is explained with its unique pathway and function in controlling the superior oblique muscle. Finally, the abducens nerve (cranial nerve 6) is described, emphasizing its role in innervating the lateral rectus muscle.

Which cranial nerves are responsible for innervating the extraocular muscles?

• Cranial nerves 1, 2, and 3

• Cranial nerves 3, 4, and 6
