Show Answers

Explanation

The ciliary ganglion is located at the apex of the orbit. It is positioned near the back of the orbit, serving as a relay station for parasympathetic fibers. Options describing locations between the optic nerve and lateral rectus or near the superior rectus are incorrect as the ganglion is specifically at the apex.
