SNS: relax detrusser muscle, contract internal sphincter
PNS: contract detrusser muscle, relax internal sphincter

61
Q

what is SNS role in regulation of pupil

A

dilation (mydriasis): α1

relaxes ciliary muscle for far vision: ß2

62
Q

what is PNS role in regulation of pupil

constrisction (miosis): M3

contract ciliary muscle for near vision: M3

63
Q

to dilate, what muscle is affected and how

A

radial muscle, contracted

64
Q

to constrict pupil, what muscle is affected and how

A
