A

sensory root from nasociliary nerve; receives presynaptic PNS from oculomotor and sends postsynaptic short ciliary nerves; receives postsynaptic SNS fibers from internal carotid plexus which innervate dilator pupillae muscles

59
Q

short ciliary nerves

A

postsynaptic PNS nerves from ciliary ganglion that causes pupil constriction via sphincter pupillae and accommodation of lens via ciliary muscles
