The lens accommodates when contraction of _______ pulls on _______.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ciliary muscle contracts and pulls on the zonular fibers, which in turn relax and allow the lens to round up, a process known as accommodation. Choice A and C are incorrect because the ciliary processes and suspensory ligaments do not play a role in accommodation. Choice D is incorrect because it reverses the order of contraction and relaxation of the ciliary muscle and zonular fibers. Choice E is incorrect because the ora serrata is the boundary between the retina and ciliary body and is not directly involved in accommodation.
