Chapter 10, Problem 13RA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The location of neurons that stimulate the constriction of an iris.
Introduction:
Human eyes have various features to adjust the focal length in different conditions. The movements of internal structures of human eyes are controlled by the various centers in the brain. In response to high and low light intensity, a number of adjustments are made in the eye.
