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

• *Top-down path to region*: Peripheral Nervous System -> Parasympathetic Ganglia (PN.PSYM) -> Ciliary Ganglion (LAC.PN.PSYM.CLG) (see Mind Maps)
• *Type*: parasympathetic ganglion
• *Brain area*: Lower Brain - Autonomous Control Area
• *Role*: parasympathetic
• *Function*: Control pupillary diameter
• *Notes to function*: Sphincter muscles of the iris
