Wikipedia

  1. nervus oculomotorius

    The oculomotor nerve, also known as the third cranial nerve, cranial nerve III, or simply CN III, is a cranial nerve that enters the orbit through the superior orbital fissure and innervates extraocular muscles that enable most movements of the eye and that raise the eyelid. The nerve also contains fibers that innervate the intrinsic eye muscles that enable pupillary constriction and accommodation (ability to focus on near objects as in reading). The oculomotor nerve is derived from the basal plate of the embryonic midbrain. Cranial nerves IV and VI also participate in control of eye movement.

  1. nervus oculomotorius

    The nervus oculomotorius, also known as the oculomotor nerve, is the third of twelve paired cranial nerves in the human body. It is responsible for the motor control of muscles around the eye, enabling most eye movements, opening the eyelid, and constricting the pupil. It originates from the base of the brain and divides into two branches which run to the muscles of the eye. Damage to this nerve can result in eye movement disorders and pupil abnormalities.
