Optic Nerve
Which nerve is known as eye of hand?
optic nerve
What is an abducent nerve?
An abducent nerve is a nerve which controls the lateral rectus muscle in the eye.
What is the difference between the auditory nerve and optic nerve?
Auditory nerve is eighth cranial nerve. It is called as vestibulocochlear nerve. It is the nerve to meant for hearing and balancing your body. The optic nerve is second cranial nerve. It carries sensory signals from your eye to the brain. It arises from the retina of the eye.
Function of abducens nerve?
Causes abduction of the eyeball. So named: abducens nerve
What happens after nerve damage to rods and cones in eye?
you lose light perception in the eye
Which nerve if it damage it would keep the eye from rotating inferolaterally?
There is a large series of muscles that rotate the eye. The main nerve involved is the optic nerve and could possibly keep the eye from rotating
The disorder called glaucoma is usually caused by?
Elevated pressure in the eye is the main factor leading to glaucomatous damage to the eye (optic) nerve.
What is the nerve at the back of the eye?
The nerve is the nerve at the back of they eye.
Which cranial nerve is damaged due to a medial strabismus injury?
Medial strabismus is caused by cranial nerve damage. There is no such thing as a medial strabismus injury that causes a nerve to be damaged, rather the damaged nerve causes strabismus. A strabismus refers to the misalignment of the eyes or a deviation in gaze. A medial strabismus would be the result of damage to the abducens nerve (cranial nerve VI). CNVI innervates the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, which pulls the eye laterally. Therefore, if this nerve is damaged, the eye is no longer able to pull laterally, and the tonus of the medial rectus muscle acts unopposed. This pulls the eye medially, causing medial strabismus.
What eye movement is caused by the superior oblique?
Superior oblique is controlled by cranial nerve VI (Trochlear nerve). This muscle depresses the eye and moves it laterally. A person with damage to this cranial nerve will have difficulty looking down and to the side.
What nerve causes lateral movement of the eye?
abducens nerve
What is the nerve that joins eye to the brain?
The Optic nerve connects the eye to the brain.
What is the nerve of the human eye?

Is there an optic nerve for each eye?
The optic nerve is in the eye (optical, Optical illusions)
What cranial nerve does not serve the muscles of the eye?
