Give the reflex pathway of eye closing suddely of bright light

Answer»

Reflexes are  an  essential  part of protective and homeostatic function,  both in  general terms  and with specific reference to ocular structures. A wide RANGE of stimuli   and  responses,  with  varying degrees of central processing, is  INVOLVED in such reflexes. The simplest reflexes are monosynaptic, such as the  stretch   or   myotatic  reflex.  More  COMPLEX polysynaptic reflexes are involved in many regula- tory and protective functions - these INCLUDE auto- nomic as  well  as somatic reflexes. Ocular auto- nomic reflexes include the  oculocardiac, pupillary, accommodative and lacrimatory  reflexes.  Ocular somatic reflexes  include eyelid and extra-ocular muscle  reflexes  (such as Bell’s  phenomenon, vestibulo-ocular and optokinetic reflexes)
