  2. Neural accommodation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_accommodation

    During neuronal accommodation, the slowly rising depolarisation drives the activation and inactivation, as well as the potassium gates simultaneously and never evokes action potential. Failure to evoke action potential by ramp depolarisation of any strength had been a great puzzle until Hodgkin and Huxley created their physical model of action ...

  3. Accommodation (vertebrate eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_(vertebrate_eye)

    There are many types of accommodation anomalies. It can be broadly classified into two, decreased accommodation and increased accommodation. [50] Decreased accommodation may occur due to physiological (presbyopia), pharmacological (cycloplegia) or pathological. [50] Excessive accommodation and spasm of accommodation are types of increased ...

  4. Accommodation reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_reflex

    Light from a single point of a distant object and light from a single point of a near object being brought to a focus. The accommodation reflex (or accommodation-convergence reflex) is a reflex action of the eye, in response to focusing on a near object, then looking at a distant object (and vice versa), comprising coordinated changes in vergence, lens shape (accommodation) and pupil size.

  5. Pupillary reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupillary_reflex

    Pupillary reflex refers to one of the reflexes associated with pupillary function.. The pupillary reflex results in the pupil constricting (left) and dilating (right) These include the pupillary light reflex and accommodation reflex.

  6. Sensory nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_nervous_system

    The visual system and the somatosensory system are active even during resting state fMRI Activation and response in the sensory nervous system. The sensory nervous system is a part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information.

  7. Spasm of accommodation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spasm_of_accommodation

    A spasm of accommodation (also known as a ciliary spasm, an accommodation, or accommodative spasm) is a condition in which the ciliary muscle of the eye remains in a constant state of contraction. Normal accommodation allows the eye to "accommodate" for near-vision. However, in a state of perpetual contraction, the ciliary muscle cannot relax ...

  8. Pupillary light reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupillary_light_reflex

    The pupil is the dark circular opening in the center of the iris and is where light enters the eye. By analogy with a camera, the pupil is equivalent to aperture, whereas the iris is equivalent to the diaphragm.

    In medicine and anatomy, the special senses are the senses that have specialized organs devoted to them: vision (the eye) hearing and balance (the ear, which includes the auditory system and vestibular system) smell (the nose) taste (the tongue)
