Please label the following 

### Anatomy of the Human Eye Muscles

This detailed diagram illustrates the various muscles and structures surrounding the human eye. Each component is labeled to highlight its function and anatomical position.

1. **Conjunctiva**: A thin, protective mucous membrane lining the eyelids and covering the white part of the eyeball.

2. **Inferior Oblique**: A muscle responsible for moving the eye upward and outward.

3. **Inferior Rectus**: A muscle that helps move the eye downward.

4. **Lateral Rectus (2 places)**: This muscle is crucial for moving the eye outward, away from the nose.

5. **Medial Rectus**: This muscle allows the eye to move inward, towards the nose.

6. **Optic Nerve**: The nerve that transmits visual information from the retina to the brain.

7. **Superior Levator Palpebrae**: This muscle elevates the upper eyelid.

8. **Superior Oblique**: A muscle that primarily moves the eye downward and laterally.

9. **Superior Rectus**: Responsible for moving the eye upward.

10. **Trochlea**: A cartilaginous structure that acts as a pulley for the superior oblique muscle.

These muscles work together to facilitate a wide range of eye movements, ensuring comprehensive visual field coverage and allowing the eyes to track and focus on objects in the environment. Understanding the arrangement and function of these muscles is critical for fields such as ophthalmology and neurology.
