In the context of the upper jaw, they are also known as fangs. They can appear more flattened, however, causing them to resemble incisors and leading ...
The extraocular muscles, or extrinsic ocular muscles, are the seven extrinsic muscles of the eye in humans and other animals. [1] Six of the extraocular muscles, the four recti muscles, and the superior and inferior oblique muscles, control movement of the eye. The other muscle, the levator palpebrae superioris, controls eyelid elevation.

Both the maxillary and mandibular canines are called the "cornerstone" of the mouth because they are all ...
Cherry eye is a disorder of the nictitating membrane (NM), also called the third eyelid, present in the eyes of dogs and cats. [1] Cherry eye is most often seen in young dogs under the age of two. [2] Common misnomers include adenitis, hyperplasia, adenoma of the gland of the third eyelid; however, cherry eye is not caused by hyperplasia ...
A compound eye is a visual organ found in arthropods such as insects and crustaceans. It may consist of thousands of ommatidia, [ 1 ] which are tiny independent photoreception units that consist of a cornea, lens, and photoreceptor cells which distinguish brightness and color. The image perceived by this arthropod eye is a combination of inputs ...
Fundus (eye) Fundus photographs of the right eye (left image) and left eye (right image), as seen from the front (as if face to face with the viewer). Each fundus has no sign of disease or pathology. The gaze is into the camera, so in each picture the macula is in the center of the image, and the optic disc is located towards the nose.
