what extraocular muscles are innervated by CN VI?
nan
CN VI (abducens nerve) innervates the lateral rectus muscle, which is responsible for abduction of the eye or lateral movement of the eye. The abducens nerve originates from the abducens nucleus in the pons of the brainstem and travels through the cavernous sinus to enter the orbit through the superior orbital fissure. It then innervates the lateral rectus muscle, which is the only muscle that abducts the eye. Dysfunction of the abducens nerve can lead to diplopia (double vision) and difficulty with lateral eye movement.
