But children are certainly going to be put off by the rampant medical jargon, as in " the abducens nerve is the sixth cranial nerve and extends from the dorsal part of the pons to the lateral rectus muscle of the eye ."
32.
The abducens nucleus contains two types of cells : motor neurons that control the lateral rectus muscle on the same side, and interneurons that cross the midline and connect to the contralateral oculomotor nucleus ( which controls the medial rectus muscle of the opposite eye ).
33.
Fissure changes, and the other associated characteristics of Duane's such as up or down shoots and globe retraction, are also vital when deciding whether any abduction limitation is the result of Duane's and not a consequence of VI or abducens cranial nerve palsy.
34.
"' Sixth nerve palsy "', or "'abducens nerve palsy "', is a disorder associated with dysfunction of cranial nerve VI ( the abducens nerve ), which is responsible for causing contraction of the lateral rectus muscle to eye.

"' Sixth nerve palsy "', or "'abducens nerve palsy "', is a disorder associated with dysfunction of cranial nerve VI ( the abducens nerve ), which is responsible for causing contraction of the lateral rectus muscle to eye.
36.
Together, trochlear and abducens contract and relax to simultaneously direct the pupil towards an angle and depress the globe on the opposite side of the eye ( e . g . looking down directs the pupil down and depresses ( towards the brain ) the top of the globe ).
37.
The sixth nerve, the abducens nerve, which innervates the lateral rectus muscle of the eye ( moves the eye laterally ), is also commonly affected but fourth nerve, the trochlear nerve, ( innervates the superior oblique muscle, which moves the eye downward ) involvement is unusual.
38.
A generalized increase in intracranial pressure hydrocephalus, pseudotumor cerebri, hemorrhage, edema will affect the fourth nerve, but the abducens nerve ( VI ) is usually affected first ( producing "'horizontal diplopia "', not "'vertical diplopia "').
39.
Cavernous sinus syndrome may result from mass effect of these tumors and cause ophthalmoplegia ( from compression of the oculomotor nerve, trochlear nerve, and abducens nerve ), ophthalmic sensory loss ( from compression of the ophthalmic nerve ), and maxillary sensory loss ( from compression of the maxillary nerve ).

"On Old Olympus'Towering Top A French And German Viewed Some Hops " does not roll off the tongue any quicker than the 12 cranial nerves _ Olfactory, Optic, Oculomotor, Trochlear, Trigeminal, Abducens, Facial, Auditory, Glossopharyngeal, Vagus, Spinal Accessory and Hypoglossal.
