What connects the ciliary body to the lens?
The lens is attached to the ciliary body by fibers (zonules of Zinn).
What is the function of the Ciliary Fibers?
move things along
What are the smooth muscle fibers called that support the lens?
Ciliary Muscles.
Which nerves contain the most parasympathetic preganglionic fibers?
ciliary, pterygopalatine, otic, and submandibular.
What does ciliary body do?
The ciliary body is behind the iris in the human eye. Tiny cilia (fibers) called zonules attach the ciliary body to the eye's lens. When focusing on close objects, the ciliary body contracts and the zonules relax, allowing the lens to thicken and improve the focus. When looking at a distant object, the ciliary body relaxes and the zonules contract, making the lens thinner for sharper distance vision.
Is the ciliary muscle part of the ciliary body?
the ciliary muscle is the smooth muscle of the ciliary body
What produce aqueous humor?
Someone accidentally slipping and falling in a swimming pool with their street clothes on.
What is ciliary action?
ciliary action is all about you.
Contains the ciliary muscle of the eye?
ciliary body
What happens to the shape of cilia muscles when they relax?
When the ciliary muscle is relaxed, the choroid acts like a spring pulling on the lens via the zonule fibers causing the lens to become flat.
What is the smooth muscle structure that is attached to the lens?
iris and ciliary muscle
Are there bipolar cells in the ciliary ganglion?
Bipolar neurons in the ciliary ganglion only exist during embryonic development and in vitro. Adult in vivo choroid and ciliary neurons in the ciliary ganglion are all unipolar.
