When the eye is stimulated by bright light, the circular muscle of the iris contracts, decreasing the size of the pupil.
the pupil expands, leading toward out.
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.
The radial muscles in the iris contract making the pupil larger letting in more light.
The radial and circular muscles of the iris.
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.
iris and ciliary muscles
The colored part of the human eye that controls how much light that passes through the pupil is called the iris.
the radial fibers contract,enlarging the pupil and allowing more light to enter the eye
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.
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.
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.
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. :)
your iris contract to stop lights entering the pupil/preventing you from going blind.
