Name the extraoculae muscle/s that would be primarily active in the following movement of the eye:
Intorsion
Superior oblique
7

Medial rectus muscle
3
Auricularis Posterior muscle
What are the 4 intrinsic muscles? What is their role and how do they work?
Superior longitudinal, Vertical, Transverse and the Inferior longitudinal muscles.
Intrinsic muscles protrude, retrude, curl, uncurl, flatten and round the tongue.
They do this by working in pairs, or by one side at a time to perform precise movement.
What muscle/s is/are primary being used here:
Occipitofrontalis

What is the role of the transverse intrinsic tongue muscle?
Narrow (elongate) and protrude tongue (acts simultaneously with vertical muscle)
