Question
What is the function of iris and the muscles connected to the lens in human eye?
Solution
- Function of Iris: The iris is a muscular diaphragm that controls the size of the pupil, which, in turn, controls the amount of light entering the eye. It also gives color to the eye.
- Function of ciliary muscles: The ciliary muscles hold the eye lens in position and adjust its focal length by expanding and contracting.
