Persistent pupillary membrane is a condition where parts of a fetal membrane stay attatched to the eye after birth. It can cause cataracts.
The receptor is the retina of the eye; smooth muscle of the iris is the effector. They both change simultaneously because the pupillary light reflex is contralateral.
While pupillary size in principle is controlled both by the sympathetic and the parasympathic nervous system, the typical closure of the pupil after illumination (i.e. the pupillary light reflex) is mediated by the parasympathetic innervation of the constrictor muscle of the pupil.
Pupillary constriction will occur, bilaterally, and evenly, in the normal individual.
The diagnostic exam should include measurement of visual acuity under both low and high illumination, biomicroscopy with pupillary dilation, stereoscopic fundus examination with pupillary dilation.
Adjustment of the focal length of the lens of the eye, to accomodate the various light rays from various distances.
It is called a nictating membrane.
Pupillary light reflex is autonomic.
The sensory of the membrane eye has the letters r,e,n,a,t, and i.

The dark brown membrane of the eye is the choroid, it contains many blood vessels and supplies the eye with nutrients.
