Extrinsic eye muscles move the eye within its orbit. Eye muscles are evolutionarily very conservative, in that most vertebrates have the same three pairs of these striated muscles. Eyes muscles have been converted into two remarkable structures in fishes. An electric organ in the electric stargazer (Astroscopus, Uranoscopidae) and heater organs in two suborders of perciformes fishes (Xiphioidei and Scombroidei). |
