The ciliary body has three functions: accommodation, aqueous humor production and the production and maintenance of the lens zonules. Accommodation essentially means that when the ciliary muscle contracts, the lens becomes more convex, generally improving the focus for closer objects. When it relaxes, it flattens the lens, generally improving the focus for farther objects. One of the essential roles of the ciliary body is also the production of the aqueous humor, which is responsible for providing most of the nutrients for the lens and the cornea and involved in waste management of these areas.

How does the escalator function?
escalator function and application
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.
The body region where a ciliary escalator helps to sweep microbes trapped in mucus away from that body site is the urinary tract?
respiratory tract "In the respiratory tree, a ciliated epithelium conveys foreign particles entrapped in mucus toward the pharynx either to be expelled or swallowed. This so-called ciliary "escalator" propels entrapped particles..."

What is ciliary action?
ciliary action is all about you.
Contains the ciliary muscle of the eye?

What is the function of the muscles in the human eye?
The eye lens is kept in place by ciliary muscles. These muscles can contract or relax.If the ciliary muscles contract or relax the focal length of the eye lens becomes large or small.Or in other words the function of the eye lens is to increase or decrease the focal length of the eye lens.
