Pupil size is primarily controlled by the iris muscles, which respond to light levels and emotional stimuli. In bright light, the circular muscles contract to constrict the pupils, while in low light, the radial muscles contract to dilate them. Additionally, factors such as arousal, stress, and certain medications can also influence pupil size. The autonomic nervous system plays a key role in regulating these responses.

What part of your nervous system controls for the pupils open and closing in response to light?
The part of the nervous system that controls the opening and closing of the pupils in response to light is the autonomic nervous system, specifically the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches. The parasympathetic nervous system, through the Edinger-Westphal nucleus, constricts the pupils in bright light, while the sympathetic nervous system dilates the pupils in low light conditions. This reflexive response is known as the pupillary light reflex.
What is papillary reflex?
You probably mean the pupillary reflex. It is the reflex responsible for your pupils constricting (becoming smaller) when exposed to light and dilating (becoming bigger) when you walk into a dark room.
How would one known if their pupils are dilated?
