1
Q

Autonomic Innervation of the Eye

A

pupillary response to light involves both sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system. Pupil dilatation in response to low light illumination is predominantly accomplished by an increase in sympathetic activity. Constriction of pupils in response to high light levels results predominantly from an increase in parasympathetic activity.

56
Q

Parasympathetic Pathway:

A

Pathway: Preganglionic nerves travel via cranial nerve III (oculomotor nerve) to the ciliary ganglion. Postganglionic nerves then proceed via the short ciliary nerves to the sphincter pupillae muscle of the iris.

57
Q

Parasympathetic Pathway: NT

A

Neurotransmitter: Acetylcholine is released from both preganglionic and postganglionic nerves, acting on nicotinic receptors at the ganglion and muscarinic M3 receptors on the iris sphincter muscle, causing pupil constriction.

58
Q

Sympathetic Pathway:

A

Pathway: Preganglionic nerves originate from the upper thoracic spinal cord and ascend in the sympathetic chain to synapse in the superior cervical ganglion.

59
Q

Sympathetic Pathway:
NT

A

Neurotransmitter: Noradrenaline (norepinephrine) is released from postganglionic nerves, activating alpha1-adrenoceptors on the iris dilator muscle, causing pupil dilation.

60
Q

Low Light Conditions for. eye:

A

The sympathetic nervous system is activated, increasing noradrenaline release. This stimulates alpha1-adrenoceptors on the iris dilator muscle, causing the pupil to dilate and allow more light into the eye.

61
Q

High Light Conditions:for eye

A

The parasympathetic nervous system is activated, increasing acetylcholine release. This stimulates muscarinic M3 receptors on the sphincter pupillae muscle, causing the pupil to constrict, reducing the amount of light entering the eye.
