Is this correct?:

The eye uses two different types of muscles. The muscles behind the eye are all skeletal muscles, as well as the eyelid muscles. But the iris muscle is a smooth muscle because it moves involuntary while it adjusts to sunlight and darknes?

  1. yes/


  2. Absolutely. I don't know how much better I could explain it. The bottom line is the skeletal muscles move larger parts, i.e. your eyeball and eyelid, conciously. Smooth muscles are stimulated without concious thought and by reflex, i.e. opening or closing your pupil.

    PS what mimi said about needing two muscles to move is true, but it's actually two skeletal muscles to move, i.e. the biceps and triceps, which have opposite actions whenever you move your arm.

  3. yes its true,just like when we need musles 2 move
