  3. The roof of the mouth is called palatine. Anterior 2/3 is formed by Maxillary bone, the posterior 1/3 is formed by two small palatine bones.

  4. what is the function of zonula ligaments surrounding the capsule of lens in presbyopic conditions? zonula donot perform any function as they would do earlier..they donot relax even by the contraction of ciliary sphincter muscles.which resulted from the hardness of lens ..therefore no change in the shape of the lens…
