How does sympathetic nervous system affect the iris?
The sympathetic nervous system is one of three major parts of the autonomic system. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the part of the nervous system that controls most of the things we don't do voluntarily. Things such as heart rate, respiratory rate, sexual arousal and tone of the muscle inside your eye (the iris). The sympathetic part of the ANS is often considered to promote a "fight or flight response" while the parasympathetic part does the opposite ("rest and digest"). If we think about a dangerous situation where you want to have a "fight or flight response", you generally want to have more light entering your eyes so that you have a heightened visual sense. This is accomplished when your sympathetic nervous system activates the radial muscles of your iris. In contrast, your constricter muscles are relaxed. This leads to dilated pupils forming part of the sympathetic response.
