The ciliary body is a ring-shaped thickening of tissue inside the eye that divides the posterior chamber from the vitreous body. It contains the ciliary muscle, vessels, and fibrous connective tissue. Folds on the inner ciliary epithelium are called ciliary processes, and these secrete aqueous humor into the posterior chamber. The aqueous humor ...
The ciliary muscle is an intrinsic muscle of the eye formed as a ring of smooth muscle [3] [4] in the eye's middle layer, the uvea (vascular layer).It controls accommodation for viewing objects at varying distances and regulates the flow of aqueous humor into Schlemm's canal.
The pars plana (also known as orbicularis ciliaris [1]) (Latin: flat portion) is part of the ciliary body in the uvea (or vascular tunic, the middle layer of the three layers that comprise the eye). It is about 4 mm long, located near the junction of the iris and sclera , and is scalloped in appearance.
In the anatomy of the eye, the ciliary processes are formed by the inward folding of the various layers of the choroid, viz. the choroid proper and the lamina basalis
The lens is suspended to the ciliary body by the suspensory ligament (zonule of Zinn), made up of hundreds of fine transparent fibers which transmit muscular forces to change the shape of the lens for accommodation (focusing). The vitreous body is a clear substance composed of water and proteins, which give it a jelly-like and sticky ...
Aqueous humor produced by the epithelium of the ciliary body is secreted into the posterior chamber, from which it flows through the pupil to enter the anterior chamber. [2] The hypermature cataractous lens [3] or, the intraocular lens [4] implanted after cataract surgery may obstruct the aqueous flow through the pupil. The block in flow of ...
Goss was the esteemed editor of the 25th edition of the seminal classic Gray’s Anatomy. Internationally lauded as the authority on all things anatomical, Gray’s Anatomy had been considered essential for any would-be physician to own since it was first published in London in 1858. It was written by Dr. Henry Gray and illustrated by Henry ...
It is secreted from the ciliary body, a structure supporting the lens of the eyeball. [1] It fills both the anterior and the posterior chambers of the eye, and is not to be confused with the vitreous humour, which is located in the space between the lens and the retina, also known as the posterior cavity or vitreous chamber.
