| tylosis ciliaris | Thickening of the tarsal border of the eyelid. Synonym: tylosis ciliaris. Origin: pachy-+ G. Blepharon, eyelid (05 Mar 2000) |
| zona ciliaris | The outer, wider zone of the anterior surface of the iris, separated from the pupillary zone by the collarette. Synonym: zona ciliaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zonula ciliaris | A series of delicate meridional fibres arising from the inner surface of the orbiculus ciliaris that run in bundles between, and in a very thin layer over, the ciliary processes; at the inner border of the corona, the fibres diverge into two groups that are attached to the capsule on the anterior and posterior surfaces of the lens close to the equator; the spaces between these two layers of fibres are filled with aqueous humor. Synonym: zonula ciliaris, apparatus suspensorius lentis, suspensory ligament of lens, Zinn's zonule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lamina basalis corporis ciliaris | The inner layer of the ciliary body, continuous with the basal layer of the choroid and supporting the pigment epithelium of the ciliary retina. Synonym: lamina basalis corporis ciliaris, basal layer of ciliary body. (05 Mar 2000) |
