How is the light optic tract anatomically different from the right optic nerve?

The right optic tract carries information from the left hand side of both eyes visual field, where-as the right optic nerve carries information solely from the right had eye. After the optic nerves from both eyes perform this partial intersection (in the optic chiasm) they then become known as the optic tract. Hope this helps.

∙ 8y agoRight optic nerve contains the fibers from the retina of the right eye. The right optic tract contains the fibers from the temporal side of the right eye retina and nasal side of the left eye retina. So when the right optic nerve is affected, you will not see with right eye. When the right optic tract is affected, you will lose the left sided vision. That means you will not see, what is happening on the left side of you.

What nerve carries signals from the from the retina to the brain?
Occipital nerve. It is the second cranial nerve.
What part of brain connects brain and eyes?
Optic nerve. Well, it connects the retina to the brain. The muscles of the eye also connect to the brain, but not through the optic nerve.
What cranial nerve deals with vision?
vestibulocochlear nerve
Where does the optic nerve leave the eye?
The optic nerve exits the retina at the optic disc, otherwise known as the "blind spot".
What part of the eye sends message to the brain?
The retina activates, sending a signal down the optic nerve, across the optic chiasm, and back to the visual cortex, where the brain decodes/maps the signals to visual perception. The short answer: the optic nerve

how do you see?
light goes in you pupil to your light receptors and to the optic nerve and the optic nerve sends information to your brain and it creates a image in your head so you can see
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."
What nerve carries signals from the from the retina to the brain?
Occipital nerve. It is the second cranial nerve.
Why is there no sensation of light at the optic disk?
Because there are no rods or cones there, since the optic disk is where axons exit the eye to form the optic nerve.
What is the Light sensitive membrane that connects the optic nerve to the brain?
Retina.
What does light first hit?
It hits your optic nerve and then travels to YOUR MOM!!
What is the point where the optic nerve enters the eyeball?
Point where optic nerve enters eyeball is the optic disc.
What is the junction of the retina and optic nerve?
The junction between the retina and the optic nerve is the optic disc.
What part of brain connects brain and eyes?
Optic nerve. Well, it connects the retina to the brain. The muscles of the eye also connect to the brain, but not through the optic nerve.
What nerve is responsible for visual signals to the brain?
optic nerve
What can the optic nerve be identified with?
The optic nerve can be identified with the sense of sight.
