In which part of the human body would you find the ciliary muscle?

The accommodation is, in fact, brought about by the action of the ciliary muscle.

The ciliary muscle is a ring of muscular fibre attached to the ciliary process close to the circumference of the suspensory ligament.

It is the exertion of contracting the ciliary muscle that constitutes the effort of which we are conscious when looking at very near objects.

But when we look at nearer things the rays require to be more bent or refracted, so without any conscious effort on our part this ciliary muscle contracts and allows the lens to bulge out slightly in front.
