Date: 2015
Keywords/Main Subjects: Pupil anatomy; Neuroanatomy
Diagnosis: NA
Brief Description:
Through diagrams, animations and gross specimens the constriction and dilation of the pupil by the autonomic nervous system are described. Both the parasympathetic and sympathetic control are traced and the importance of a constricted pupil, Horner’s Syndrome, and temporal lobe (uncal) herniation (dilation) are emphasized.
