What are the primary locations of the medial and lateral rectus muscles?

Neck
Eyes
Ears
Shoulders

The correct answer is: Eyes

The medial and lateral rectus muscles are primarily located in the eyes. These muscles are extraocular muscles responsible for the movement of the eyeball. The medial rectus muscle is positioned on the inner side of the eye and is responsible for adduction, which means it allows the eye to move towards the nose. Conversely, the lateral rectus muscle is located on the outer side and facilitates abduction, allowing the eye to move away from the midline towards the ear. Understanding the function and location of these muscles is important in the context of eye movement and coordination. The other options, such as the neck, ears, and shoulders, do not relate to the function or anatomy of the medial and lateral rectus muscles.
