What is effect of contraction and relaxation of the ciliary muscle?
change in shape of lens.
What muscle controls the shape of the lens?
the lens is held vertically in the eye's interior by suspensory ligaments or more specifically called the ciliary zonule, attached to the ciliary body. so suspensory ligaments is the answer(-:
What contracts and relaxes to change shape of lens?
The ciliary muscles
What is the smooth muscle structure that is attached to the lens?
iris and ciliary muscle
What is the function of the ciliary body?
Consists of ciliary processes which capillaries secrete aqueous humor and ciliary muscle which changes the shape of lens for viewing objects in different distances.
What contains the ciliary muscle?
lens
What type of lens is the lens of your eye?
The lens in the human eye is a convex lens, but it is flexible and when it is acted on by the ciliary muscle around it, the lens can be "flattened" to change the focus, or, when the muscle is relaxed, the lens can assume a more spherical shape. This is at the heart of the ability of the eye to focus on objects nearer or farther away.
Is ciliary body is a smooth muscle structure ot which the lens is attached?
Yes; the ciliary body is a mass of smooth muscle from which the lens is suspended.
What controlls the shape of the lens?
The ciliary muscle, part of the retina of the eye, changes the focal length of the lens by flattening it or making it more spherical.
What links the ciliary muscle to the lens?
Suspensory Ligaments
What is the normal adjustment of the lens by the ciliary muscle?
accommodation
What muscle is responsible for eye accommodation of near and distal vision?
The ciliary muscle is responsible for eye accommodation for near and far vision. It accomplishes this task by changing the shape of the lens.
