  2. Ciliary muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciliary_muscle

    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 .

  3. Intraocular muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraocular_muscles

    The ciliary muscle controls accommodation by altering the shape of the lens to be able to see an object from near to far. [2] The pupillary sphincter muscle and pupillary dilator muscle control the iris to adjust the size of the pupil to adjust how much light enters into the eye.

  4. Ciliary body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciliary_body

    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 ...

  6. Accommodation (vertebrate eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_(vertebrate_eye)

    The anterior capsule and the zonule form a trampoline shape or hammock shaped surface that is totally reproducible depending on the circular dimensions, i.e. the diameter of the ciliary body (Müeller's muscle). The ciliary body thus directs the shape like the pylons of a suspension bridge, but does not need to support an equatorial traction ...

  7. Aqueous humour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqueous_humour

    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. [2]

  9. Mammalian eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammalian_eye

    [10] The human eye is not a plain sphere but is like two spheres combined, a smaller, more sharply curved one and a larger lesser curved sphere. The former, the anterior segment is the front sixth [8] of the eye that includes the structures in front of the vitreous humour: the cornea, iris, ciliary body, and lens. [6] [11]
