Term
light reflex
Definition
pupillary constriction in rspsoen to light . direct in same eye, idnirect in contralteral eye.
Term
accomodation reflex
Definition
as object moves clsoer, eyes converge ,lense thickens and puipls constrict.
Term
superior cervical ganglion
Definition
what innervates the pupuilary dilator muslce, which is sy mpathetic.
Term
edegar westfeld nulceus /ciliary ganglion
Definition
provide parasympathetic inernvation. Pupilary constricto r muscle. Also cilliary muscle- when contracted suspesnroy ligaments relax and lense thickens.
Term
sympathetic pathway to eye
Definition
goes from hyptohalamus own to intermedia nuclei. Fromt hese nuclei will go across to s uperior cervical ganglion adn go up to inenrvate the pupillary dilator muscle and superior tarsus msucle (mullersmuscle)
Term
horners syndrome
Definition
interruptino of symapthetic pathwayf rom hypothalamus to thoracic spinal cord to superior cerical ganglion. Ptosis, miosis, anyhdriosis (lack of sweating)
Term
light reflex pathway
Definition
light comesi nt othe eye and goes ipsilaterally to brahcium of superior ocliculus and to pretectal nucleus.

Two wayst o go bilateray; via optic chiasm to other pretectum nucleus, or via bilateral innervatin of othe pretectal nucleus- then goes to the edegaar westfeld nulceus which hten projects to the cillary ganaglion. LEading to consensual resposne
Term
interupption of pathway posterior to optic tract on light reflex
Definition
= light and consensualr eflexes are fine
Term
interupption of pathway posterior to optic tract on light reflex
Definition
= light and consensualr eflexes are fine
Term
optic nerve lesions
Definition
contralateral lgiht and consensual reflexes owrk. But ipsilateral eye and coensual reflexes dont
Term
optic nerve lesions
Definition
contralateral lgiht and consensual reflexes owrk. But ipsilateral eye and coensual reflexes dont
Term
oculomotor pathway nerve lesion on light reflex
Definition
ipsilateral eye will not be able to resposnd coensnually or directly
Term
accomodation reflex
Definition
initiated by occipital cortex, to accomodation center in superior colliculus.

From accomodation center goes to edenger westfeld nuclus and CN III nucleus for convergence of the eyes
