Slightly anterior to the posterior surface of the globe. D. Approximately at the ocular equator, slplsr, superior levator palpebra–superior rectus complex; Irm, lateral rectus muscle; mrm,medial rectus muscle; irm, inferior rectus muscle; som, superior oblique muscle; iom, inferior oblique muscle; mm, Müller's muscle of the orbit; on, optic nerve.
