Damages Affect on
Nervous system
Autonomic nerves
The autonomic nervous system is the controller of
the iris and controls the size of the pupil.
Parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) causes pupillary
constriction and controls involuntary smooth muscle
action of circular muscles in the eye, including the
papillary sphincter muscle and the ciliary body, which
are attached to the iris. The papillary sphincter muscle
constricts the pupil by the PNS that less light is needed.
