The lens is attached to the ciliary body by fibers (zonules of Zinn).
The ciliary body is responsible for producing aqueous humor, a fluid that nourishes the cornea and lens of the eye. It also helps in controlling the shape of the lens and thus plays a crucial role in focusing light onto the retina for clear vision.
The ciliary body is a structure in the eye that produces aqueous humor, while the ciliary muscle is a muscle that helps to change the shape of the lens for focusing.
The ciliary body is a specialized structure which anchors the iris with the choroid. It makes aqueous humor and anchors the lens via the zonules, through which it modulates lens changes.The ciliary body is a specialized structure which anchors the iris with the choroid.

Ciliary Muscle
The ciliary body is a structure in the vascular tunic of the eye that produces aqueous humor, which nourishes and maintains the shape of the eye. It also contains ciliary muscles that control the shape of the lens for focusing on near or distant objects. Additionally, the ciliary body is responsible for anchoring the suspensory ligaments that hold the lens in place.
The ciliary body, which consists of ciliary muscles and ciliary processes, is the structure that surrounds the lens and connects to the choroid. The ciliary body controls the shape of the lens through the action of the ciliary muscles, which can adjust the thickness of the lens to allow for focusing on objects at different distances.
Yes; the ciliary body is a mass of smooth muscle from which the lens is suspended.
Ciliary body
The ciliary body is the structure that holds the lens in place in the eye. It is involved in accommodation, which is the process of the lens changing shape to focus on near or far objects. The ciliary body contracts and relaxes to adjust the tension on the lens, allowing it to change shape for focusing.

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(-:

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.
A Zinn's membrane is another name for a ciliary zonule, a ring of strands connecting the ciliary body with the lens of the eye.
