Location of photoreceptors in the eye
Retina
Cranial Nerve responsible for vision
Optic
The vascular layer/tunic of the eye
Choroid
Pigmented, anterior part of the uvea
iris
Responsible for the ciliospinal reflex
Sympathetic Nervous System
Clear watery fluid located in the anterior segment
Aqueous Humor
Reflex that occurs on the same side as that stimulated
ipsilateral
The “white of the eye”
sclera
Responsible for the salivary relfex
parasympathetic nervous system
Transparent anterior portion of the fibrous tunic
cornea

ANS Pathways - 1
- Enter STG
- Pre-ganglionic myelinated enters white rami
- Exits gray rami
ANS Pathways 2
