The retractor anguli oculi lateralis muscle ( Latin for "retracting the outer corner of the eye") is a skeletal muscle of the head. In predators, it arises from the fascia in the area of the temples and attaches to the temple- side (temporal) corner of the eyelid ( commissura palpebrarum lateralis ). In cattle it is connected to the frontoscutularis muscle , in horses and humans it is not developed. He pulls the temporal corner of the eye backwards. The muscle is innervated by the zygomatic branch ( ramus zygomaticus ) of the facial nerve (VII. Cranial nerve ) .
