Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ciliary ganglion is responsible for controlling the focusing of the eyes by controlling the muscles of the lens in response to changes in distance or focus. The other ganglia listed (otic, pterygopalatine, submandibular) are involved in other functions such as salivation, lacrimation, and innervation of the ear. The optic nerve is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain, but is not involved in controlling eye movements or focus.
