Difference between Iris (anatomy) and Smooth muscle tissue

Iris (anatomy) vs. Smooth muscle tissue

In humans and most mammals and birds, the iris (plural: irides or irises) is a thin, circular structure in the eye, responsible for controlling the diameter and size of the pupil and thus the amount of light reaching the retina. Smooth muscle is an involuntary non-striated muscle.

Similarities between Iris (anatomy) and Smooth muscle tissue

Iris (anatomy) and Smooth muscle tissue have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Collagen, Eye, Hair, Neural crest, Skin, Striated muscle tissue.

Collagen

Collagen is the main structural protein in the extracellular space in the various connective tissues in animal bodies.

Neural crest

Neural crest cells are a temporary group of cells unique to chordates of the group Cristozoa that arise from the embryonic ectoderm cell layer, and in turn give rise to a diverse cell lineage—including melanocytes, craniofacial cartilage and bone, smooth muscle, peripheral and enteric neurons and glia.
