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 connects the ciliary body to the lens?
The lens is attached to the ciliary body by fibers (zonules of Zinn).
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.
Smoking may damage the respiratory system because deposits from the smoke can?
Interfere with ciliary action in trachea. This is because smoke can temporarily paralyze the cilia interfering with their ability to remove foreign matter from the trachea.
Describe the ciliary body region of the vascular tunic?
Vascular tunic. This is the middle layer of the eye and is made up of the choroid, the ciliary body, and the iris. Altogether, these structures are called the uvea
How is accommodation brought about in the human eye?
Is brought about by the action of ciliary muscles and elastics of the lens
Is the ciliary muscle part of the ciliary body?
the ciliary muscle is the smooth muscle of the ciliary body
What three mechanisms cause a person to sneeze?
Ciliary Action, Peristaltic Motion, and Cough Reflex
What produce aqueous humor?
Someone accidentally slipping and falling in a swimming pool with their street clothes on.
Contains the ciliary muscle of the eye?
ciliary body
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.
What is a group of ciliated epithelial cell called?
Within the Eye, the Ciliary Body consists of four levels: the Ciliary Muscles; the Vascular layer; the Ciliary process, and the Ciliary Epithelium.
What is the process by which the lens of the eye changes its curvature?
The Ciliary Muscles
Which eye muscles are responsible for accommodation?
The ciliary muscle as well as the ciliary body.
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 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(-:
