Morphometric Study of the Intraorbital Muscles (Musculi Bulbi) in New Zealand Rabbit

Abstract

Eight female New Zealand rabbits were used. The bulbus oculi was removed bilaterally from orbita then intraorbital muscles were revealed by dissection and their length and breadth and the distance of the muscle insertion to the corneal limbus were measured. Junction formations of the insertion tendon of intraorbital muscle to the sclera were identified. © Springer Science + Business Media, Inc. 2006.
