Attached to the ciliary body
Lens does not belong, as it is not part of the structures involved in the formation or regulation of the aqueous humor within the eye like the ciliary body, iris, and suspensory ligaments.
When the eye is focused on distant objects, the ciliary muscles relax, not contract, which causes the suspensory ligaments to become taut. This tension pulls the lens flatter, allowing for better focus on faraway objects. Conversely, when focusing on nearby objects, the ciliary muscles contract, reducing tension on the suspensory ligaments and allowing the lens to become more rounded.
When the eye focuses on near objects, the ciliary muscles contract, which relaxes the tension on the suspensory ligaments (zonules). This allows the lens to become more rounded, increasing its curvature and enabling it to refract light more effectively for close vision. This process is part of the eye's accommodation mechanism, adjusting the lens shape to ensure a clear image is formed on the retina.
A suspensory ligament suspends and holds, or assists in the holding of a joint alignment, an organ, or organ component in place. Examples would be the lens being held in alignment with the aperture and retina of the eye, or the juxtaposition of the patella and joint alignment of the knee.
The membranes that hold the ovaries in place are the ovarian ligament and suspensory ligament, while the oviducts are held in place by the mesosalpinx. These ligaments provide support and help position these reproductive organs within the pelvic cavity.
The Ciliary Muscle is a circular ring of smooth muscle attached to the lens of the suspensory ligaments.

Suspensory Ligaments
YES
Suspensory ligaments are attached to the lens of the eye and can change the shape of the lens to help focus on close objects. When focusing on a close object, the ciliary muscles contract, which loosens the tension on the suspensory ligaments. This allows the lens to become more rounded, increasing its refractive power to focus the image on the retina.
Suspensory ligaments are named for their role in suspending or supporting organs and structures rather than connecting bone to bone. They provide stability and hold certain anatomical parts in place, such as the uterus in females or the testicles in males. The term "suspensory" reflects their function in maintaining the position of these structures rather than their classification as traditional ligaments.
Lens does not belong, as it is not part of the structures involved in the formation or regulation of the aqueous humor within the eye like the ciliary body, iris, and suspensory ligaments.
When you focus on a nearby object, your ciliary muscles contract to change the shape of the lens in your eye, allowing you to see the object clearly. This action pulling on the suspensory ligaments attached to the lens, causing them to relax.
Suspensory ligaments, also known as zonules, are thin filaments that connect the ciliary body of the eye to the lens. These structures help to hold the lens in place and change its shape for focusing on objects at different distances. When ciliary muscles contract or relax, they alter the tension in the suspensory ligaments, which in turn changes the shape of the lens to facilitate accommodation for near or distant vision.
When the eye is focused on distant objects, the ciliary muscles relax, not contract, which causes the suspensory ligaments to become taut. This tension pulls the lens flatter, allowing for better focus on faraway objects. Conversely, when focusing on nearby objects, the ciliary muscles contract, reducing tension on the suspensory ligaments and allowing the lens to become more rounded.
