Chapter 5, Problem 2CAL
Your optometrist shines a light in your eye and notices your pupil constricts (becomes smaller) in response to the light. She tells you the iris (the colored part of the eye) is a muscle that adjusts the size of the pupil automatically in response to the amount of light entering the eye. Based on this information, which type of muscle do you think forms the iris?
- a. skeletal
- b. cardiac
- c. smooth
- d. visual
