CILIARY BODY

By dr Noni Tri Wahyuni

CILIARY BODY
The Ciliary Body which is triangular in cross
section bridges the anterior and posterior
segmen
Iris and ciliary body
CILIARY BODY IS THE ANTERIOR
PARTS OF UVEAL TRACT
The Uveal Tract
consists of :
Iris ( Red )
Ciliary Body
(Green)
Choroid ( Blue )
IRIS
Highly pigmented tissue
Regulate the amount of
light that reaches the
retina by changing
pupillary diameter
responses to light and
spesific pharmacologic
stimuli
Dilator muscle
Sphincter muscle
CILIARY BODY

Produces and regulates Aqueous Humor

and thus directly influences the ionic
environment and methabolism of lens,
cornea and trabecular meshwork
Main pharmacologic target in gloucoma
treatment
PROTEIN TYPES EXPRESSED IN HUMAN
CILLIARY BODY
37 % unidentified
Functions of major group of expressed genes
include :
Protein Synthesis ( 20% )
Energy supply and biosynthesis ( 12%)
Contractility and cytoskleton structure
( 6%)
Cellular signaling & cell cycle regulation
(7%)
Nerve cell – related task (2%)
IRIS-CILIARY BODY SMOOTH MUSCLE

Derived from neuroectoderm

The biochemistry of the smooth muscle of the iris
includes
Contraction – relaxation
Receptors Characterization
Second messenger formation and regulation
Protein phosphorylation
Phospholipid metabolism
Arachidonic acid (AA ) release and eicosanoid
biosynthesis
 IRIS MUSCLE LAYER DERIVED
FROM
NEUROECTODERM
Dilator Muscle : response to
sympathetic α, Adrenergic
stimulation
Sphincter muscle : receive its
primary innervation from para
symphathetic nerve fibers that
originate in CN III Nucleus
CILIARY BODY SMOOTH MUSCLE

Accomadation of the lens

3 types :
Longitudinal
Radial
Sircular
