Pupil

Pupilla · Zornice

Sense organs

Looks like

The round black opening in the centre of the iris, a few millimetres wide.

What it does

Lets light into the eye, narrowing in bright light and widening in the dark.

Keeping it well

Both should be equal and react to light; a newly enlarged pupil with headache or drooping lid is an emergency.
