Difference between Pupillary light reflex and Sensory nervous system

Pupillary light reflex vs. Sensory nervous system

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. The sensory nervous system is a part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information.

Similarities between Pupillary light reflex and Sensory nervous system

Pupillary light reflex and Sensory nervous system have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Afferent nerve fiber, Axon, Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, Optic nerve, Retina, Retinal ganglion cell, Stimulus (physiology), Visual cortex.

Afferent nerve fiber

Afferent nerve fibers refer to axonal projections that arrive at a particular region; as opposed to efferent projections that exit the region.

Axon

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials, away from the nerve cell body.

Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells

Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), also called photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (pRGC), or melanopsin-containing retinal ganglion cells (mRGCs), are a type of neuron in the retina of the mammalian eye.

Optic nerve

The optic nerve, also known as cranial nerve II, is a paired nerve that transmits visual information from the retina to the brain.

Retina

The retina is the innermost, light-sensitive "coat", or layer, of shell tissue of the eye of most vertebrates and some molluscs.

Retinal ganglion cell

A retinal ganglion cell (RGC) is a type of neuron located near the inner surface (the ganglion cell layer) of the retina of the eye.

Stimulus (physiology)

In physiology, a stimulus (plural stimuli) is a detectable change in the internal or external environment.

Visual cortex

The visual cortex of the brain is a part of the cerebral cortex that processes visual information.

Pupillary light reflex and Sensory nervous system Comparison

Pupillary light reflex has 44 relations, while Sensory nervous system has 131. As they have in common 8, the Jaccard index is 4.57% = 8 / (44 + 131).
