55
Q

what is pinpoint pupils an issue with?

A

pontine

56
Q

what division of the nervous system causes pupillary dilation?

A

sympathetic innervation to dilator pupillae

57
Q

what is the pupillary light reflex?

A

58
Q

what nerve connections are involved in the pupillary light reflex?

A

ipsilateral CNII
midbrain (PTN > EWN > ciliary ganglion > ciliary nerve)

59
Q

what is the lens accommodation reflex?

A

changes in the lens shape to look at close and distant objects

60
Q

lens accommodation reflex in far vision

A

ciliary muscle relaxes causing ligaments to tighten and lens to flatten

61
Q

lens accommodation reflex in near vision

A

ciliary muscle contracts
ligaments relax
lens adopts a spherical shape

62
Q

what cranial nerve is responsible for the lens accommodation reflex?

A
