Pupillary light reflex
light > receptors > bipolar > ganglion > CNII > superior colliculus of midbrain > parasympathetic nucleus of oculomotor nerve > ciliary ganglion > ciliary N > iris
Accomodation Reflex
CN II > occipital lobe > superior colliculus of midbrain > parasympathetic nucleus of oculomotor nerve > CN III > ciliary ganglion > lens
