The better to see that which is frightening you. In emergency situations, you want to be as well informed as possible.
There are many things that can dilate the pupil of the eye. First of all, light plays a huge factor. Also, if there are unknown, alien substances in your body, such as drugs, that is also a pupil dilator. Also, if you have recently suffered a concussion, your pupils might be dilated for a while. Pupils also dilate when focusing on different planes of vision, as well as different distances.
The teacher noticed that the pupil's eyes dilated as they focused on the challenging math problem.
maybe the oculomotor nerve is affected( whIcH we alreadY kNown thaT tHe fUnctiON of oculomotor nerve is a mOtor to mOve the eyebAll aNd parasyMpathetic nerve fiber tO cOstriCt tHe pupil) and if thIs nerVe was erruPted,the pUpil will be dilaTed or extremeLy dilated
Dilacid is not a word. Dilated means how much the cervix (or womb) has opened. Dilated pupil means that there is a disease of the eye, which is basically caused by slimming down of the dilator muscle of the iris.
When an architect makes blueprints for a house those blueprints are later dilated by construction workers. When someone is constantly itching their eye their pupil gets dilated. Hope that helps! :)
A blown pupil usually refers to a pupil that is completely dilated and no longer responding to light. A blown pupil (also called 'fixed and dilated') is when one or both of the pupils are large and do not respond (constrict) to light. Possible causes may include trauma to the eye, brain injury, pressure or trauma to the optic nerve. Often used in medical drama shows when diagnosing someone who has no brain activity - basically brain dead, but the two are not inextricably inked.
fixed pupil- n. A pupil that is unresponsive to stimuli.
the part of the eye that controls the pupil is the iris
Yes but it isn't healthy...try an opiate...such as hydrocodone (norcos)
The phrase that means that someone's pupils contract when a bright light is shone into their eyes is "pupils reactive" ... they react to the light. If they don't react to the light, they'd be described as "pupils fixed and dilated."
I am an adult and I started to take Ritalin 4 days ago. Usually I have dilated pupil, but with Ritalin they are quite constricted. I looked around in my text books and it is supposed to be the opposite to pupil are supposed to be more dilated. I also took effexor last month and my pupils were extra dilated (almost completely black). Yep I am not a professional, but it is very strange. Nevertheless even if with Ritalin my pupils are constricted my eye are very sensitive to light. My own theory will be that in some person Ritalin will increase the eye sensibility to light and than limit the amount by closing the pupil. Makes sense for me but I will still look around.
It either means you're on drugs or you are attracted to that person
