Anatomical terminology

The sensory root of the ciliary ganglion is a root of the ciliary ganglion, an anatomical structure in the eye. It is derived from the nasociliary nerve, a branch of the ophthalmic nerve.

Structure

The sensory root of the ciliary ganglion is a small sensory root that arises from the nasociliary nerve. It carries sensory fibers from the cornea and iris.

Function

The sensory root of the ciliary ganglion carries sensory information from the eye to the brain. This information includes light intensity, color, and other visual signals.

Clinical significance

Damage to the sensory root of the ciliary ganglion can result in loss of sensation in the cornea and iris, potentially leading to vision problems.
