Lockwood

orbital fissure (SOF); inserts 7.7mm from limbus; sheath connected to sheath of levator
and connective tissue of sup. conj fornix, ensures lid is raised when eye in upgaze; of
recti, inserts furthest from limbus
suspensory ligament of Lockwood - ANS-IR sheath + IO sheath; attaches to inf tarsal
plate, extends from zygomatic bone of lateral wall to lacrimal bone of the medial wall;
provides support for globe
trochlea - ANS-physiologic origin of the SO; changes its direction of action
