Then, what is the ciliary Zonule?
n/) (Zinn's membrane, ciliary zonule) (after Johann Gottfried Zinn) is a ring of fibrous strands forming a zonule (little band) that connects the ciliary body with the crystalline lens of the eye.
where is the ciliary process located? Ciliary process visible superior to the lens, immediately above the Zonule of Zinn. The ciliary processes are formed by the inward folding of the various layers of the choroid, viz. the choroid proper and the lamina basalis, and are received between corresponding foldings of the suspensory ligament of the lens.
Also, where is the Zonule of Zinn located?
The upper half of a sagittal section through the front of the eyeball. (Zonule of Zinn visible near center.) The zonule of Zinn (Zinn's membrane, ciliary zonule) is a ring of fibrous strands connecting the ciliary body with the crystalline lens of the eye.
What do the ciliary body and Zonule do?
The lens is suspended on the ciliary body by the zonule fibers. These serve to transmit traction forces to the lens. The ciliary muscle with its meridional, radial and circular fibers is specifically concerned with the accommodation of the lens.
