Difference between Autonomic nervous system and Mydriasis

Autonomic nervous system vs. Mydriasis

The autonomic nervous system (ANS), formerly the vegetative nervous system, is a division of the peripheral nervous system that supplies smooth muscle and glands, and thus influences the function of internal organs. Mydriasis is the dilation of the pupil, usually having a non-physiological cause, or sometimes a physiological pupillary response.

Similarities between Autonomic nervous system and Mydriasis

Autonomic nervous system and Mydriasis have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adrenergic receptor, Ciliary muscle, Cranial nerves, Neurotransmitter, Norepinephrine, Oculomotor nerve, Parasympathetic nervous system, Pupillary response, Sympathetic nervous system.

Adrenergic receptor

The adrenergic receptors (or adrenoceptors) are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that are targets of the catecholamines, especially norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline).

Ciliary muscle

The ciliary muscle is a ring of smooth muscleSchachar, Ronald A. (2012). "Anatomy and Physiology." (Chapter 4). in the eye's middle layer (vascular layer) that controls accommodation for viewing objects at varying distances and regulates the flow of aqueous humour into Schlemm's canal. It changes the shape of the lens within the eye, not the size of the pupil which is carried out by the sphincter pupillae muscle and dilator pupillae.

Cranial nerves

Cranial nerves are the nerves that emerge directly from the brain (including the brainstem), in contrast to spinal nerves (which emerge from segments of the spinal cord).

Neurotransmitter

Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission.

Norepinephrine

Norepinephrine (NE), also called noradrenaline (NA) or noradrenalin, is an organic chemical in the catecholamine family that functions in the brain and body as a hormone and neurotransmitter.

Oculomotor nerve

The oculomotor nerve is the third cranial nerve.

Parasympathetic nervous system

The parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) is one of the two divisions of the autonomic nervous system (a division of the peripheral nervous system (PNS)), the other being the sympathetic nervous system.

Pupillary response

Pupillary response is a physiological response that varies the size of the pupil, via the optic and oculomotor cranial nerve.

Sympathetic nervous system

The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is one of the two main divisions of the autonomic nervous system, the other being the parasympathetic nervous system.

Autonomic nervous system and Mydriasis Comparison

Autonomic nervous system has 93 relations, while Mydriasis has 69. As they have in common 9, the Jaccard index is 5.56% = 9 / (93 + 69).
