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 body part is the eye connected to?

By the optic nerve, which is connected to the brain. The optic nerves takes nerve signals from the retina and sends it to the brain.


How does the retina work?

"The optics of the eye create an image of the visual world on the retina, which serves much the same function as the film in a camera. Light striking the retina initiates a cascade of chemical and electrical events that ultimately trigger nerve impulses. These are sent to various visual centers of the brain through the fibers of the optic nerve." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retina


What parts of the eye are involved with the inability to see. this is dealing with Blind spots?

The parts that are involved are the retina, brain cells called neurons, photo receptors, the optic nerves, and the iris. They function like a camera. How? Well the optic nerve head, neurons collected together passing as a whole through our photo receptors and it forms our optic nerve; they work as messengers to our brain. Once our eye sees light, the neurons transfers it to our brain as a picture. So when our blind spots kick in that means that there are no neurons passing to our photo receptors in that area, as in nothings being transmitted to our brain so there's no picture. Um... i hoped i was a good help to you XD


What eye functions do not work when you are blind?

either the light sensitive cells in the retina are not working or the optical nerve is damaged


What is The part of the eye that converts light energy to electricity into electricity signals?

First you must understand how light is transferred into an image by the eye. Located in the retina at the back of the eye are millions of photoreceptors. The way I understand them to work is they are constantly blocking any impules from themselves to the next connection, ganglions. When light hits these potoreceptors, the impulse is released, travels through the ganglion, and then is transmitted to the actual optic nerve. So according to this question, the photoreceptors are the trigger of light to impulse, but the answer to your question is the ganglion that transmitts the impulse to the optic nerve.

How does the bionic eye work?

The device called the " Bionic eye" consists of glasses mounted with a camera.This camera is attached to a stimulator (an electronic chip) on the retina, optic nerve or in the portion of the brain which produces perceptions of vision.When light falls on the camera, it focus the light on to the stimulator.The stimulator converts light to electrical signals which then reach the appropriate section of the brain responsible for vision.However, this technique is best suited to patients whose optic nerves developed well in spite of losing their vision.


What connect muscle fibers and nerve fibers?

they work together because the molecules in the blood form a whole and that whole leads them to work together


How do the pupil and iris work together?

Retina- light image is focused on the retina, and it contains the photosensitive receptor cells Pupil- the opening of the eye. The size of the opening is regulated by the iris Iris- pigmented part of the eye (gives people their eye color). The iris is composed of smooth muscle and controlled by reflex.


Which part of camera work as the retina of an eye?

film


Do bones and muscles work together for movement?

Well, yes but bones have no nerve stimulus so respond to muscle movement.
