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. It encircles the pupil of the iris, appropriate to its function as a constrictor of the pupil.

Comparative Anatomy

It is found in vertebrates and some cephalopods.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}}

General Structure

Initially, all the myocytes are of the smooth muscle type but, later in life, most cells are of the striated muscle type.[2]

Its dimensions are about 0.75 mm wide by 0.15 mm thick.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}}

Mode of Action

In humans, it functions to constrict the pupil in bright light (pupillary light reflex) or during accommodation.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}} In lower animals, the muscle cells themselves are photosensitive causing iris action without brain input.[3]

Innervation

It is controlled by parasympathetic fibers of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3) that originate from the Edinger-Westphal nucleus, travel along the oculomotor nerve (CN III), synapse in the ciliary ganglion, and then enter the eye via the short ciliary nerves.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}}. The short ciliary nerves then run forward and pierce the sclera at the back of the eye, traveling between the sclera and the choroid to innervate the iris sphincter muscle.
