The iris is a muscle located behind the cornea of the eye. It adjusts the size of the pupil to control the amount of light entering the eye. In bright light, the iris contracts to make the pupil smaller, limiting the amount of light that reaches the retina. In low light, the iris relaxes, making the pupil larger to allow more light into the eye.
How is the Nerve impulse responsible for the pupil becoming smaller?
Pupil is a window for the light to enter our eyes. When we are in a dim light a nerve impulse is generated to the brain to enlarge the pupil.

If excessive light is there, the pupil shrinks to a smaller size so that the eye's not damaged esp. the retina where the image of objects are formed
