Difference between Mydriasis and Pupillary light reflex

Mydriasis vs. Pupillary light reflex

Mydriasis is the dilation of the pupil, usually having a non-physiological cause, or sometimes a physiological pupillary response. The pupillary light reflex (PLR) or photopupillary reflex is a reflex that controls the diameter of the pupil, in response to the intensity (luminance) of light that falls on the retinal ganglion cells of the retina in the back of the eye, thereby assisting in adaptation to various levels of lightness/darkness.

Similarities between Mydriasis and Pupillary light reflex

Mydriasis and Pupillary light reflex have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Iris (anatomy), Iris sphincter muscle, Miosis, Oculomotor nerve, Pupil, Pupillary response, Retina.

Iris (anatomy)

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.

Iris sphincter muscle

The iris sphincter muscle (pupillary sphincter, pupillary constrictor, circular muscle of iris, circular fibers) is a muscle in the part of the eye called the iris.

Pupil

The pupil is a hole located in the center of the iris of the eye that allows light to strike the retina.

Pupillary response

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