  2. Iris dilator muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_dilator_muscle

    The iris dilator muscle (pupil dilator muscle, pupillary dilator, radial muscle of iris, radiating fibers), is a smooth muscle [2] of the eye, running radially in the iris and therefore fit as a dilator. The pupillary dilator consists of a spokelike arrangement of modified contractile cells called myoepithelial cells. These cells are stimulated ...

  3. Pupillary response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupillary_response

    Dilation and constriction of the pupil Pupillary response is a physiological response that varies the size of the pupil between 1.5 mm and 8 mm, [ 1 ] via the optic and oculomotor cranial nerve. A constriction response ( miosis ), [ 2 ] is the narrowing of the pupil, which may be caused by scleral buckles or drugs such as opiates / opioids or ...

  4. Intraocular muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraocular_muscles

    The pupillary sphincter muscle and pupillary dilator muscle control the iris to adjust the size of the pupil to adjust how much light enters into the eye. The pupillary dilator muscle increases the pupillary diameter and it is arranged radially, but the pupillary sphincter muscle is responsible for the constriction of the pupil's diameter and ...

  5. Extraocular muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraocular_muscles

    The ciliary muscle, pupillary sphincter muscle and pupillary dilator muscle sometimes are called intrinsic ocular muscles [3] or intraocular muscles. [4] Structure

  6. Iris sphincter muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_sphincter_muscle

    It encircles the pupil of the iris, appropriate to its function as a constrictor of the pupil. The ciliary muscle , pupillary sphincter muscle and pupillary dilator muscle sometimes are called intrinsic ocular muscles [ 2 ] or intraocular muscles .

  7. Ciliary muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciliary_muscle

    It also changes the shape of the lens within the eye but not the size of the pupil [5] which is carried out by the sphincter pupillae muscle and dilator pupillae. The ciliary muscle, pupillary sphincter muscle and pupillary dilator muscle sometimes are called intrinsic ocular muscles [6] or intraocular muscles. [7]

  8. Iris (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_(anatomy)

    The iris (brown coloured portion of the eye) controls the size of the pupil by contracting the sphincter pupillae and dilator pupillae muscles. The sphincter pupillae is the opposing muscle of the dilator pupillae. The pupil's diameter, and thus the inner border of the iris, changes size when constricting or dilating.

  9. Mydriasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mydriasis

    Mydriasis is the dilation of the pupil, usually having a non-physiological cause, [3] or sometimes a physiological pupillary response. [4] Non-physiological causes of mydriasis include disease, trauma, or the use of certain types of drugs.
