The Sensory root of the ciliary ganglia is a component of the ciliary ganglion, a parasympathetic ganglion located just behind the eye. It is responsible for transmitting sensory information from the eye to the brain.
Structure[edit | edit source]
The sensory root of the ciliary ganglia originates from the nasociliary nerve, a branch of the ophthalmic nerve. It carries sensory fibers from the cornea, ciliary body, and iris of the eye.
Function[edit | edit source]
The sensory root of the ciliary ganglia transmits sensory information from the eye to the brain. This information includes light intensity, color perception, and other visual stimuli.
Clinical significance[edit | edit source]
Damage to the sensory root of the ciliary ganglia can result in a variety of vision problems, including blurred vision, double vision, and photophobia.
