Latin	radix sensoria ganglii ciliaris

The Sensory root of ciliary ganglia is a part of the human eye's nervous system. It is a branch of the ophthalmic nerve and connects to the short ciliary nerves.

Structure

The sensory root of the ciliary ganglia originates from the ophthalmic nerve, which is itself a branch of the trigeminal nerve. It carries sensory information from the eye to the brain.

Function

The sensory root of the ciliary ganglia is responsible for transmitting sensory information from the eye to the brain. This information includes light intensity, color, and other visual data.

Clinical significance

Damage to the sensory root of the ciliary ganglia can result in a variety of vision problems, including blurred vision, double vision, and loss of vision.
