Question
which eye movement is preserved in a complete oculomotor nerve (cn iii) palsy?
adduction

none
Brief Explanations
The oculomotor nerve (CN III) innervates several extra - ocular muscles (superior rectus, medial rectus, inferior rectus, inferior oblique) that are responsible for adduction, elevation, and depression of the eye. In a complete oculomotor nerve palsy, all the functions of the muscles it innervates are lost.
