Is iris at the back of the eye?
The iris is not at the back of the eye. The structure at the back of the eye (on the inside) is called the retina. That's the part that senses light. The iris is a structure at the front of the eye, consisting of a ring of muscle with an opening in the center, called a pupil. The iris can shrink the pupil, to admit less light, or expand the pupil to a larger size to admit more light. Eye color is deterimned by the iris. It is the only colorful muscle.
How are the pupil and iris related to each other?
The iris is a muscle that adjusts to allow more or less light into the pupil.
What is the muscle that makes the pupil smaller in bright light?
Smooth Muscles.
What is the ring around your pupil called?
The colored bit is called the iris, and is actually a muscle. it expands and contracts to make the pupil (black bit) either smaller or larger, depending how much light there is. the brighter the outside would is, the smaller the pupil gets.
How does vision work?
When light rays pass through your pupil, the muscle called the iris (colored ring) makes the size of the pupil change depending on the amount of light that's available. You may have noticed this with your own eye if you have looked at it closely in a mirror. If there is too much light, your pupil will shrink to limit the number of light rays that enter. Likewise, if there is very little light available, the pupil will enlarge to let in as many light rays as it can. Just behind the pupil is the lens and it focuses the image through a jelly-like substance called the vitreous humor onto the back surface of the eyeball, called the retina.
What is the colored ring of muscle that controls the size of the pupil is called?
The Iris.
What is in the black of the human eye?
The black of the human eye is a hole called the pupil. The color part is really a muscle which contracts and dilates depending on how much light there is in the environment. When there is a lot of light, the iris (colored muscle) contracts, making the "hole" smaller. When there is limited light in an environment, the iris relaxes, which in turn causes the pupil to increase size. So the black is just a whole in the muscle where light enters the eye to be focused by the lens and computed by the brain.
The opening hole of the eye is called the?
The opening in the eye which allows light to pass through is called the pupil.

How do pupils react to light while on heroin?
Heroin relaxes the muscles in your body. The iris is the muscle in your eye that controls the size of your pupil and how much light is let in. When you take heroin it relaxes this muscle making your pupil appear smaller. "uppers" like cocaine will do the opposite.
