- Innervates only one single muscle of the eye, the lateral rectus muscle?
- Axons from the abducens nerve loop around the facial motor nucleus, creating the facial colliculus that is visible on the floor of the fourth ventricle?
- Besides the motor neurons, which directly innervate ipsilateral lateral rectus muscle via the abducens nerve, abducens nucleus contains also interneurons, which project to the contralateral oculomotor nucleus and cause conjugate movement (adduction) of the contralateral eye?
- Besides the motor neurons, which directly innervate ipsilateral medial rectus muscle via the oculomotor nerve, oculomotor nerve nucleus contains also interneurons, which project to the contralateral abducens nucleus and cause conjugate movement (abduction) of the contralateral eye?
- A lesion to the nucleus of the abducens nerve causes inability to move the eyes together in the direction of the side with the lesion?
- In peripheral abducens palsy, the contralateral eye is slightly adducted because of the unopposed tonic action of the medial rectus muscle?
