extra-ocular muscle

Preferred Label : extra-ocular muscle;

Uberon definition : Skeletal muscle derived from cranial mesoderm and controls eye movements.;

Uberon synonym : extra-ocular skeletal muscle; extraocular skeletal muscle; extrinsic muscle of eyeball; extrinsic ocular muscle; extrinsic eye muscle; extraocular musculature; extraocular muscle;

Uberon Development note : Myofibers in extraocular muscles are derived from mesoderm, whereas muscle connective tissue cells arise from neural crest.[PMID:16638982];

Uberon Homology note : The ability to rotate the eyeball is common to all vertebrates with well-developed eyes, regardless of the habitat in which they live, so these (extrinsic ocular) muscles tend to be conservative. They change little during the course of evolution.[well established][VHOG];

Uberon Taxon note : Mammals have 7 extra-ocular muscles, but humans lack the M. retractor bulbi.;
