This page covers biological details of component Episcleral Ganglion. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.
- Top-down path to region: Peripheral Nervous System -> Parasympathetic Ganglia (PNS.PSYM) -> Head and Neck Parasympathetic Ganglia (PN.PSYM.HD) -> Episcleral Ganglion (LAC.PN.PSYM.EPG) (see Mind Maps)

- Area circuit: Vision Autonomic Control (LAV)
- Role: parasympathetic.ganglion
- Function: Control curvature of lens
- Notes to function:
- Sphincter muscles of the iris
