Anatom3DIII — Oculomotor nerve
Nervus oculomotorius (III) · III — okohybný nerv
Nervous system
Looks like
A nerve from the midbrain to four of the six eye muscles, the lid, and the pupil.
What it does
Moves the eye up, down and in, lifts the lid and narrows the pupil.
Keeping it well
Nothing routine; a drooping lid with a wide pupil and double vision can be an aneurysm — same-day scan.
