What will sympathetic stimulation of the eye do?

Sympathetic stimulation of the eye will cause dilation of the pupil (mydriasis) and relaxation of the ciliary muscle for far vision.


Are there bipolar cells in the ciliary ganglion?

No, bipolar cells are a type of neuron found in the retina of the eye, not in the ciliary ganglion. The ciliary ganglion primarily contains postganglionic parasympathetic neurons that innervate the muscles controlling the shape of the lens in the eye.


Where is the cilliary body in the eye?

The ciliary body is located in the eye between the iris and the choroid. It is a ring-shaped structure that encircles the lens and plays a crucial role in controlling the shape of the lens for focusing, as well as producing aqueous humor, the fluid that nourishes the eye. The ciliary body contains smooth muscle and connective tissue, allowing it to adjust the lens curvature for near and far vision.


What two involuntary muscles make up the front part of the eye?

The two involuntary muscles that make up the front part of the eye are the iris and the ciliary body. The iris controls the size of the pupil, regulating the amount of light entering the eye. The ciliary body adjusts the shape of the lens, enabling the eye to focus on near or distant objects.


What are the smooth muscle fibers called that support the lens?

The smooth muscle fibers that support the lens in the eye are called ciliary muscles. These muscles contract and relax to change the shape of the lens, allowing for accommodation and focusing on objects at 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(-:

What is the shape of the lens controlled by?

the iris!!! iris is the coloured part of your eye,and its a muscle that controls your pupil(the black dot) to let how much light you're eye needs. The iris regulates the amount of light by controlling the size of the pupil.


When the eye is looking at objects far in distance the lens is rounded and the ciliary muscle is contracted?

The ciliary muscle is relaxed when you look at something that is far away.


How does the ciliary muscle help to adjust the shape of the lens in the eye for focusing on objects at different distances?

The ciliary muscle in the eye contracts or relaxes to change the shape of the lens, allowing it to focus on objects at different distances.


What topical cycloplegic for?

to paralyse ciliary muscle of the eye, resulting in loss of accommodation.
