A knife wound on the left portion of the neck results in a pupillary constriction in the left eye.
Introduction:
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) majorly controls the involuntary type of functions of the body like heart rate, respiratory rate, and digestion. ANS is made up of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The SNS has a role in the fight-or-flight response, while the PNS is involved in the ‘rest and digest’ responses.

However, they do not cause deficits in hearing. The explanation for this is: Auditory information does not reach the cortex Auditory information only goes to one hemisphere. Auditory information goes to both hemispheres How are the outer segments of photoreceptors positioned? between bipolar cells and horizontal cells in the outermost layer of the retina in the ganglion cell layer farthest from the pigment epitheliumarrow_forward
