superior rectus
The superior rectus is a muscle in the orbit, one of the extraocular muscles that control the movements of the eye. It is responsible for upward rotation, helps with inward rotation and can also contribute to turning the eye towards the midline. In the context of anatomy, "superior" usually indicates a more upper position while "rectus" suggests a straight alignment - hence, this muscle is essentially the 'upper straight muscle' of the eye.
