The sensory ligament, also known as the zonules of Zinn, connects the ciliary body to the lens of the eye. It plays a crucial role in the process of accommodation, allowing the lens to change shape for focusing on objects at varying distances. When the ciliary muscles contract, the tension on the zonules decreases, allowing the lens to become more rounded for near vision. Conversely, when the muscles relax, the zonules pull on the lens, flattening it for distance vision.

What contains sensory receptors for vision in the eye?
Retina in the eye contains sensory cells. Retina has got rods and cones. Cones are responsible for colour vision. Rods are responsible for vision in less amount of light.

Which ligament of the initiates the knee jerk reflex when tapped?
The patellar ligament initiates the knee jerk reflex when tapped. When the patellar tendon is tapped just below the patella, the sensory neurons detect the sudden stretch and send an impulse to the spinal cord. This reflex causes the contraction of the quadriceps muscles, resulting in the extension of the leg.
