List the three anatomic compartments into which the orbit is partitioned by the rectus muscles.

1. Intraconal space
2. Conal space (essentially the extraocular muscles)
3. Extraconal space
(Note: There is also a preseptal space that is part of the face and is separated from the postseptal space [part of the extraconal space] by the orbital septum.)
