Evoked pressure responses in the rabbit eye |
|
| Authors: | C C Collins |
| Abstract: | In the rabbit, a sensory stimulus of low intensity evokes a characteristic transient intraocular rise in pressure with an amplitude as great as 10 millimeters of mercury. This alpha- adrenergically mediated phenomenon occurs concomitantly with a general arousal response and appears to be caused by contraction of the orbital smooth muscle of Müller. |
