Ciliary Muscle |
| Description |
The ciliary muscle is used during accommodation. The muscle consists of longitudinal and circular fibers. The circular fibers perform a sphincter - like motion and the longitudinal fibers pull the choroid forward. In either case, tension on the zonular fibers of the lens is reduced and the lens bulges passively (in young individuals). UCLA Histology Collection. |
