Q

Ciliary Muscle

  1. Function?
  2. Autonomics?
    2a. what nerve?
    2b. Nucleus and ganglion?
  3. Associated Clinical condition?
A
  1. accommodation of lens; works as a sphincter; when contracts, it lessens the tension of the suspensory ligament so the lens becomes more rounded–Accommodation reflex
  2. Parasympathetic
    2a. Occulomotor Nerve (CN III)
    2b. Edinger-Westphal (CN III) Nucleus and Ciliary ganglion
  3. Presbyopia; By age 45, the ability of the lens to become more rounded is lost

Q

Ciliary Body

  1. Function?
  2. Route of Aqueous Humor?
  3. Dysfunction?
A
  1. Secrete Aqueous humor
  2. Ciliary body –> Posterior chamber –> Anterior chamber –> drained at the Iridocorneal Angle –> Canal of Schlemm –> Venous system
  3. Rates of production and absorption out of balance –> Increased Intraoccular pressure –> Glaucoma –> severe blindness
