The optic nerve
Which nerve transmits impulses generated by the retina to the brain?
Second cranial nerve: The second cranial nerve is the optic nerve, the nerve that connects the eye to the brain and carries the impulses formed by the retina -- the nerve layer that lines the back of the eye, senses light and creates the impulses -- to the brain which interprets them as images.The cranial nerves emerge from or enter the skull (the cranium), as opposed to the spinal nerves which emerge from the vertebral column. There are twelve cranial nerves.In terms of its embryonic development, the optic nerve is a part of the central nervous system (CNS) rather than a peripheral nerve.
Encoded information travels along the optic nerve to the?
The optic nerve transmits visual impulses from the retina to the brain.
How does the optic nerve work?
The optic nerve is a group of nerve fibers that function to provide vision. The optical never works by transferring electrical impulses to the brain from a part of the eyes known as the retina.
What is the function of the optic nerve?
As with all nerves in the human body, the optic nerve transmits information. In this case, the optic nerve specifically transmits information from the retina of the eye to the brain for analysis and integration, resulting in the perception of "sight."
Neural impulses are first sensed by the?
the optic nerve in your eye
What cranial nerve Transmits motor impulses that affect heart rate?
Optic nerve
