Humita (from Quechua humint'a) is a Native American dish from pre-Hispanic times, and a traditional food in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador and Peru, although their origin is unclear. In Argentina, Chile, Ecuador and Peru they are known as humitas, in Bolivia as humintas, in Brazil as pamonha, and in Venezuela as hallaquitas. It consists of masa harina and corn, slowly steamed or boiled in a pot of water.
A greater intensity of light causes the pupil to constrict (miosis/myosis; thereby allowing less light in), whereas a lower intensity of light causes the pupil to dilate (mydriasis, expansion; thereby allowing more light in). Thus, the pupillary light reflex regulates the intensity of light entering the eye.
Best Answer: Your pupils adjust their size according to the amount of light. They dilate (open) when there's less light. When you go outside your pupils are still big from the dark theater, but then you go outside. The pupils are too big for the light and they get flooded. It takes a few seconds for them to adjust, then for you to get over the pain of having your retinas burned to a crisp.
