When the eye is stimulated by bright light, the circular muscle of the iris contracts, decreasing the size of the pupil.

The iris of the eye has two main types of muscles. Name these two muscles and how they affect the pupil.?
The iris of the eye has two main types of muscles - the radial muscle and the sphincter muscle. The radial muscle lies on the outside of the iris, and the sphincter muscle surrounds the pupil, allowing it to dilate and contract.
How do eyes adjust to dull lights?
The radial muscles in the iris contract making the pupil larger letting in more light.
What body part is the same as the iris diaphragm?
The radial and circular muscles of the iris.
Which system controls the rate at which you blink?
Iris muscles! The circular muscles contract to reduce the size of the pupil in bright light. Radial muscle fibres contract to widen the pupil in places of low light intensity. The contraction and relaxation of circular and radial muscle fibres in the iris are antagonistic, and an example of cerebral reflex.
Are the iris and ciliary muscles located in the front part of the choroid muscles Involuntary?
iris and ciliary muscles
The colored part of the eye that contains muscles to contract or expand the pupil is the?
The colored part of the human eye that controls how much light that passes through the pupil is called the iris.
The iris is composed primarily of two smooth muscle layers?
the radial fibers contract,enlarging the pupil and allowing more light to enter the eye
What is the opening that is controlled by the muscles of the iris?
The opening that is controlled by the muscles of the iris is called the pupil. The iris is responsible for adjusting the size of the pupil in response to different lighting conditions.
Is the muscle in the iris of the eye is voluntary muscle?
No, the human eye is an organ. However, each eye has six muscles that control its movements: the lateral rectus, the medial rectus, the inferior rectus, the superior rectus, the inferior oblique, and the superior oblique.
What will happen to your eyes when you enter a bright room?
When suddenly exposed to bright light, your pupils will automatically constrict (actually the constrictor muscles of the iris will contract, causing the iris to expand and narrow the pupil). Also, it is likely your eyelids will squint shut.
What structure consists of muscles that control and shape the pupil?
The iris dilates in dimmer light to allow more light into the eye through the pupil then lens, through the inner eye onto the retina, and finally to the optical nerve. The iris will contract when lots of light is exposed to the eye to allow less light into the eye, so we are not blinded. Sources: My science teacher in 5th grade. :)
What happens when you cannot open your eyes in the daylight with to much sun?
your iris contract to stop lights entering the pupil/preventing you from going blind.
