What else can I help you with?
What part of in pupil reflex for stimulus?
The stimulus in the pupil reflex would be light
What does the ciliospinal reflex do to the pupil of the eye?
The pupil dilates when stimulated by the pinching on the nape of the neck.
What part of brain controls pupil dilation?
Edinger-Westphal nucleus of the brainstem controls the pupil reflex. An ER doctor who looks at the response to a pen light is checking on brain stem activity.
Which cranial nerve in responsible for the reflex constriction of the pupil in response to light and accomodation?
The oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III) is responsible for the reflex constriction of the pupil in response to light and accommodation.
Where are the reflexes such as blinking and pupil reflex centered at?
Reflexes such as blinking and pupil reflex are centered in the brainstem. The trigeminal nerve is responsible for the blinking reflex, while the pupillary reflex is controlled by the oculomotor nerve. These reflexes help protect the eyes from harm and regulate the amount of light entering the eye.

Is a pupil autonomic reflex?
yes
What is the consensual reflex of the pupil?
The consensual reflex of the pupil is the simultaneous constriction of the pupil in both eyes when light is shone into one eye. This reflex is controlled by the autonomic nervous system to regulate the amount of light entering the eye and protect the retina.

How is pupil reflex controlled?
The pupil reflex is controlled by the autonomic nervous system, specifically the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions. Constriction of the pupil (miosis) is controlled by the parasympathetic system through the action of the cranial nerve III (oculomotor nerve). Dilation of the pupil (mydriasis) is controlled by the sympathetic system through the action of the superior cervical ganglion.
Is the pupil a reflex or voluntary?
Pupils reacts to light, narrowing in bright light and widening in poor light - so is a reflex action.
Is the response of your pupil a reflex or a voluntary action?
The constriction of pupils in response to bright light is called the pupillary light reflex. If the light is shining directly into one eye, then the pupil in that eye will constrict (a direct response), but so will the pupil in the non-illuminated eye (a consensual response).This reflex involves two cranial nerves: the optic nerve, which senses the light, and the oculomotor nerve, which constricts both pupils. It is considered involuntary since you don't think about it.
What is a list of ten involuntary movements?
Sneezing, coughing, heart racing, peristalsis, pupil contraction, shivering, eructation, flatulence, patellar reflex, Babinsky reflex.
When you shine a light into one pupil the normal reaction of the other pupil should be?
Constriction. When light shines into one pupil, the pupillary light reflex causes the other pupil to constrict due to the connection between the two pupils through the optic nerve and brainstem. This reflex helps regulate the amount of light entering the eye to maintain optimal vision.
