Vasco Nunez de Balboa went on to discover new lands and was appointed governor of different regions in the Americas. One of his biggest achievements was that of crossing over the southern part of the continent by crossing the present day Isthmus of Panama.
Muscles of the eyes. The are six muscles of the eyes responsible for movement of the eye. These muscles function in Agonist and Antagonist pairs enabling us to move our eyeballs in the cardinal directions, up, down, left and right. There are six muscles which are responsible for controlling the movement of the eyeballs.
Seven muscles attach to the eyeball of domestic mammals (four recti, two obliques, and one retractor). The purpose of the retractor bulbi m. is to force the third eyelid across the surface of the cornea as a protective mechanism. Humans lack a third eyelid and a retractor bulbi m., and have only six muscles attaching to each eyeball. The gland associated with the third eyelid is called superficial even though it is located deep because some species, such as the pig, have two glands, and the second is still deeper than the superficial gland of the third eyelid.
