The superior rectus muscle has its origin on the superior part of the common tendinous ring and the sheath of the optic nerve. The muscle passes forward beneath the levator muscle. The sheaths enclosing these two muscles are connected to each other, allowing coordination of eye movement with eyelid position and resulting in elevation of the eyelid with upward gaze. 2, record 1, English, - superior%20rectus%20muscle
