Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy [edit on Wikidata]

The long ciliary nerves are 2-3^[1] nerves that arise from the nasociliary nerve (itself a branch of the ophthalmic branch (CN V₁) of the trigeminal nerve (CN V)). They enter the eyeball to provide sensory innervation to parts of the eye, and sympathetic visceral motor innervation to the dilator pupillae muscle.
