(Demonstrations-Ophthalmotrop nach Wundt)
Description: This model was used to demonstrate the action of the extraocular muscles to move the eyeball. There are 6 cords attached to the points which correspond to the muscle insertions. Each of the 6 cords can be moved singly or in combination to show how the muscles cause eye movements. (Expanded caption Copyright 1998, Edward J. Haupt)
