intrinsic eye muscles are controlled by the autonomic nervous system

No. Smooth muscle is controlled by the autonomic nervous system (like the intestinal muscles). Two skeletal muscles in the middle ear automatically respond to sound.
The iris and the ciliary muscle
Skeletal muscle is not directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Skeletal muscles are under voluntary control, with motor neurons from the somatic nervous system providing the neural input for their activation. Autonomic nervous system controls smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands.
Smooth muscles are controlled by the autonomic nervous system and are responsible for the involuntary actions of internal organs such as the stomach, intestines, blood vessels, and bladder. These muscles regulate functions like digestion, circulation, and urination without conscious effort.
Since continuous blood flow is necessary to keep us alive, if the cardiac muscles were NOT controlled by the autonomic nervous system, we would die as soon as we fell asleep and quit thinking about making the muscle move. Sweet Dreams...
The skeletal system does not rely on the autonomic nervous system. It is primarily controlled by the somatic nervous system, which governs voluntary movements and actions of skeletal muscles. While the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary functions like heart rate and digestion, the skeletal system operates independently in terms of movement and support.
They are controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) contributes to the stability of the internal environment of the body (homeostasis). The autonomic nervous system continuously makes adjustments to our body to maintain equilibrium. The ANS regulates cardiac and smooth muscles and glands. One example of the function of the autonomic nervous system is when our pupils constrict when bright light is shining into our eyes. There are two main branches of the autonomic nervous system, the sympathetic and parasympathetic.
Voluntary muscles are controlled by the central nervous system.
The nervous system controls breathing rate.
The two functional classifications of reflexes are autonomic reflexes, which regulate activities of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands, and somatic reflexes, which involve skeletal muscles. Autonomic reflexes are involuntary and controlled by the autonomic nervous system, while somatic reflexes are voluntary and controlled by the somatic nervous system.
