The part of the eye which connects the iris to the choroid.
Thick part of a vascular membrane joining the iris and choroid of the eye.
Thickened portion of the vascular tunic of the eye between the choroid and the iris.
The part of the eye that connects the choroid with the iris. It consists of three zones: the ciliary ring, which adjoins the choroid; the ciliary processes, a series of about 70 radial ridges behind the iris to which the suspensory ligament of the lens is attached; and the ciliary muscle, contraction of which alters the curvature of the lens.
That part of the eye that connects the iris and the choroid. The ciliary ring is next to the choroid; the ciliary processes comprise many ridges behind the iris, to which the lens’s suspensory ligament is attached; and the ciliary muscle contracts to change the curvature of the lens and so adjust the accommodation of the eye.
A structure directly behind the iris of the eye. It secretes the aqueous humor and contains the ciliary muscle that changes the shape, and thus the refractive power, of the lens by tightening and relaxing the tension on the lens zonule.
The eye comprises a structure called the ciliary body, which houses muscles responsible for modifying the shape of the lens to facilitate focus adjustment.
A component located inside the eyeball that links the front portion of the choroid membrane to the border of the iris. This structure houses the ciliary muscle, responsible for modifying the shape of the lens and enabling the eye to adjust its focus for objects at different distances, both near and far.
