Abstract

The insertions of the extraocular muscles in
sheep and goats are characterized by many co-
mmon qnatomical features but there are some
differences between sheep and goats concerni-
ng the insertions of the dorsal and medial r-
ecti the ventral oblique and the retractor b-
ulbi muscles. _
The study of the insertions of the extraocul-
er muscles is of importance for the treatment
of some surgical arfeetions of the eyeball,
and in forensic medicine.
