XIV. Efferent nervous system:
A. (See diagram 1)
1. Parasympathetic:
a. From CNS to iris sphincter and ciliary body.
1. Preganglionic fibers originate in the Edinger Westphal nucleus (Accessory III nucleus) in
the tegmentum at the level of the superior colliculus (mesencephalon).
2. Fibers travel in III. nerve through superior orbital fissure, follow inferior branch of III.
nerve, branch off and form motor root of of the ciliary ganglion.
3. Fibers synapse in ciliary ganglion.
4. Postganglionic fibers via short ciliary nerves in suprachoroid to anterior eye, ciliary
muscle and iris sphincter.
b. From CNS to lacrimal gland (increased tear film):
1. Preganglionic fibers from lacrimal nucleus in the pons, join sensory root of VII. nerve,
pass through facial ganglion (no synapse), enter great petrossal, join with deep petrossal
nerve to form the vidian nerve, enters sphenopalatine ganglion and synapses.
2. Postganglionic fibers enter zygomatic branch of maxillary V. nerve, a mixed nerve,
connecting branch to lacrimal nerve, terminates in the lacrimal gland.
2. Sympathetic:
a. Preganglionic fibers originate in cervical 18 (C-18) to thoracic 3 (T-3) vertebrae. Come out
of ventral roots of the spinal cord. Go superior, to superior cervical ganglion in neck and
synapse.
b. Postganglionic fibers run up neck into skull on wall of internal carotid artery and branch in
skull.
1. Branch I.: Through gasserian ganglion to ophthalmic V. to nasociliary nerve to long ciliary
nerve to dilator muscle.
2. Branch II.: Sensory root of ciliary ganglion to short ciliary nerves to blood vessels of
choroid (vasoconstriction).
3. Branch III.: Through deep petrossal nerve to vidian nerve through sphenopalantine
ganglion to zygomatic nerve to lacrimal gland (vasodilation).
4. Branch IV.: Via oculomotor III. nerve superior branch to levator to Muller's muscle of
eyelid.
c. Pathology:
1. Horner's syndrome: Trauma at the level of the superior cervical ganglion, damages
sympathetic system, causes miosis, ptosis, and anhydrosis, usually unilateral.
3. Summary of ocular reflex pathways:
a. Direct/consensual pupillary response:
1. Afferent: Retina to pretectal nuclei.
2. Intracranial:
a. Tectotegmental tract: From pretectal to EW nucleus on same side.
b. Posterior commissure: Crossover from pretectal to opposite EW nucleus. The
pretectal nuclei are not connected.
3. Efferent: EW to iris sphincter.
a. Preganglionic fibers follow III. nerve to ciliary ganglion and synapse.
b. Postganglionic fibers go to sphincter via short posterior ciliary nerves (
parasympathetic).
b. Accommodation/convergence pupillary response:
1. Near response or reflex: Ciliary muscle contracts, medial recti contract, sphincter
contracts (accommodation, convergence, miosis).
2. AC/A: Ratio between accommodative convergence and amount of accommodation, usually
3.5 diopters.
3. Ways to separate accommodation/convergence/pupil:
a. Presbyopia: Accommodation = zero, AC/A increases.
b. Mydratic (sympathomimetic): Affects dilator muscle, no pupillary response.
c. Cycloplegic (parasympatholytic): Blocks innervation to ciliary and sphincter muscles,
convergence without accommodation or miosis.
1. Afferent pathway: Visual pathway to 17.
2. Intracranial: 17 to 18,19,22 to midbrain to EW and III. nerve nucleus.
3. Efferent:
a. Autonomic (parasympathetic) to EW to iris sphincter and ciliary muscle.
b. Somatic: III. nucleus to medial rectus.
c. Pathology:
1. Argyll Robertson pupil: Loss of direct and consensual response with retension of near
point miosis, results from lesion after branch off to optic tract to EW nucleus.
a. Can be unilateral or bilateral.
b. Remember that the near response goes directly to EW, but direct/consensual goes to
the pretectal first. (See diagram 2)
d. Example lesions:
1. Sever optic nerve of left eye:
a. Direct: left no, right yes.
b. Consensual: left yes, right no.
2. Damage to fibers of left optic nerve:

b. Pupillary response unaffected.
4. Section left optic tract:
a. Right homonymous hemianopsia.
b. Pupillary response unaffected.
5. Cut after LGN, but before superior brachia:

a. Argyll Robertson in one eye on affected EW.
7. Cut both PT to both EW:
a. Argyll Robertson on both eyes.
b. Associated with tertiary syphillus, tumor, hemorrhage.
8. Cut III. nerve:
a. Droopy lid and slight abduction, ipsi.
b. Motor loss from MR, SR, IR, IO, levator.
c. Parasympathetic loss of sphincter and ciliary body.
d. No pupillary response, no accommodation, no miosis on ipsilateral side.
9. Postganglionic fiber damage:
a. Loss of ciliary body and sphincter.
b. Loss of choroidal blood vessels and dilator.
10. Adie's tonic pupil: Affects postganglionic fibers, after ciliary ganglion, after they
branch from III. nerve.
a. Eye movements are normal.
b. Pupillary responses are slow or absent.
c. Accommodation is hindered.
4. Trigeminal or corneal reflex:
a. Corneal pain results in lacrimation, blinking and miosis. (See diagram 3)
5. Sleep reflex:
a. Parasympathetic system takes over and miosis results.
6. Role of the superior colliculus:
