The sensory roots of ciliary ganglia are a component of the human eye's nervous system. They are involved in transmitting sensory information from the eye to the brain.

Structure[edit | edit source]

The sensory roots of the ciliary ganglia originate from the nasociliary nerve, a branch of the ophthalmic nerve. They carry sensory information from the cornea and iris to the brain.

Function[edit | edit source]

The sensory roots of the ciliary ganglia play a crucial role in the visual system. They transmit sensory information from the eye to the brain, allowing for the perception of visual stimuli.

Clinical significance[edit | edit source]

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