Preferred Label : oculomotor nerve;
MeSH definition : The 3d cranial nerve. The oculomotor nerve sends motor fibers to the levator muscles
of the eyelid and to the superior rectus, inferior rectus, and inferior oblique muscles
of the eye. It also sends parasympathetic efferents (via the ciliary ganglion) to
the muscles controlling pupillary constriction and accommodation. The motor fibers
originate in the oculomotor nuclei of the midbrain.;
