Globe: Ciliary body

The ciliary epithelium is a portion of the non-sensory retinal layer of the inner tunic.  This layer lines the posterior surface of the ciliary body and its processes, before continuing over the posterior surface of the iris.  Ciliary epithelium consists of two epithelial layers, with the one adjacent to the stroma being heavily pigmented.  The ciliary epithelium produces the zonule fibers and secretes aqueous humor.
