Descriptions
The pupil is the variable-sized, black circular opening in the center of the iris that regulates the amount of light that enters the eye. It appears black because most of the light entering the pupil is absorbed by the tissues inside the eye. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.
