MeSH Heading: Oculomotor Nerve
Tree Number(s): A08.800.050.050.650; A08.800.050.600.475; A08.800.800.060.650; A08.800.800.120.600
Unique ID: D009802
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D009802
Annotation: neoplasm = OCULOMOTOR NERVE DISEASES (IM) + CRANIAL NERVE NEOPLASMS (IM) + histological type of neoplasm (IM)
Scope Note: The 3d cranial nerve. The oculomotor nerve sends motor fibers to the levator muscles of the eyelid and to the superior rectus, inferior rectus, and inferior oblique muscles of the eye. It also sends parasympathetic efferents (via the ciliary ganglion) to the muscles controlling pupillary constriction and accommodation. The motor fibers originate in the oculomotor nuclei of the midbrain.
