Anatomy | The Extrinsic Eye Muscles [Functions & Innervation]

The video tutorial provides an in-depth look at the extrinsic eye muscles, which are six voluntary skeletal muscles responsible for eye movement. It explains the distinction between rectus and oblique muscles, their functions, and how they are controlled by cranial nerves. The tutorial also covers how to differentiate between the left and right eye using these muscles and discusses the specific roles of cranial nerves in controlling eye movement.
