Ciliary Muscle



When the ciliary muscle is relaxed, the choroid acts like a spring pulling on the lens via the zonule fibers causing the lens to become flat.
When the ciliary muscle contracts, it stretches the choroid, releasing the tension on the lens and the lens becomes thicker.

the answer is wrong, when the ciliary muscle of the eyes contracts, the eye lens bulges. Note that when the gaze is directed at a near object, the ciliary muscle contracts. This decreases the distance between the edges of the ciliary body and relaxes the lens ligaments, so that the lens springs into a more convex shape(bulges). Reference: explicit biology by O.J olaoye chap 14 questn 41.

When the ciliary muscle of the eye contracts, the eye lens becomes thicker and more rounded. This process is known as accommodation, which allows the eye to focus on near objects.

it becomes spherical

The correct answer is Bulges

in a bright environment, the eye doesn't need much light so the suspensory ligament relaxes making the eye lens flatten and reduce the amount of light entry the eyes


BUT IN DEEM LIGHT
the suspensory ligament CONTRACT making the eye lens BULGES and increass the amount of light rays entry the eyes..




Pls Myschool, you have look into that and choose the right one please
