Solution

  1. Our eyes can focus on the images from varied distances by changing the focal length of the lens.
  2. The action of the ciliary muscle helps to change the focal length of the lens.
  3. In the ciliary body of the eyes, there is a ciliary muscle.
  4. The ciliary muscle is responsible for controlling the thickness and thinness by contracting or relaxing the muscle.
  5. Ciliary muscles contract for nearby vision and relax for far away visions.
  6. It can be found in the anterior section of the eye’s vascular choroid layer.
  7. It changes the curvature of the lens through zonular fibers to modulate the accommodation reflex in the eyes.
  8. Smooth muscle fibers aligned in the circular, longitudinal, and radial directions make up this structure.
