This page covers biological details of component Episcleral Ganglion. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

  • Top-down path to region: Peripheral Nervous System -> Parasympathetic Ganglia (PNS.PSYM) -> Head and Neck Parasympathetic Ganglia (PN.PSYM.HD) -> Episcleral Ganglion (LAC.PN.PSYM.EPG) (see Mind Maps)
  • Type: parasympathetic ganglion
  • Quality: L0
  • Brain area: Lower Brain - Autonomous Control Area (LAC)
  • Area circuit: Vision Autonomic Control (LAV)
  • Role: parasympathetic.ganglion
  • Function: Control curvature of lens
  • Notes to function:
    • Sphincter muscles of the iris
