Q

pupillary light reflex

A

receptor - retinaprimary afferent - optic n.interneuron - pretectal nucleimotor neuron - edinger-westphal nucleus to oculomotor n.target - pupillary sphincter muscle

17
Q

edinger westphal nucleus

A

motor nucleus of the pupillary light reflexes-axons - oculomotor nerve

18
Q

constriction of pupil

A

oculomotor-parasympathetic

19
Q

dilation of pupil

A

sympathetics

20
Q

control of pupil size

A

GVE-not under voluntary control

21
Q

sympathetics to iris

A

postganglionic cell bodies are in the superior cervical ganglion-follow blood vessels

22
Q

superior colliculus

A

coordinates visual grasp reflex-visual stimulus activates tectospinal tract
