Question
what function is associated with the oculomotor nerve?
eye movement via the lateral rectus
eye movement via the superior oblique
eyesight
eye movement and pupil constriction
The oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III) is responsible for several functions related to the eye. It innervates most of the extraocular muscles (not the lateral rectus which is innervated by abducens nerve - cranial nerve VI, and not the superior oblique which is innervated by trochlear nerve - cranial nerve IV). It also controls pupil constriction (parasympathetic component). Eyesight is mainly associated with the optic nerve (cranial nerve II).
