Understanding Abducentes Muscles: The Eye Movers
Abducentes (singular: abducens) is a Latin word that refers to the muscles that move the eye towards the side of the head. There are six abducentes muscles in the human body, which are responsible for adducting and rotating the eyeball outward.
The term "abducentes" is derived from the Latin words "ab" (away from) and "ducere" (to lead), indicating the action of the muscles in moving the eye away from the midline of the head. These muscles work together to control the movement of the eyes and help us look sideways or outward.
