∙ 12y agoThe very first Cranial nerve (CN1) is caled the Optic nerve. This nerve (one from each eye) passes back from the posterior of the eye through the Optic Foramen and meats its partner to form the Optic Chiasm.
The above answer is incorrect. The very first cranial nerve is olfactory. The optic nerve is the second cranial nerve. It transmits visual information to the brain. Cranial nerves 3,4 and 6 are responsible for eye movement in horizontal and vertical planes.

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 is the function of the optic in the eye?
The optic disc in the human eye is the part of the eye that is connected to the retina and carries visual information to the thalamus and other parts of the brain.
What messages the eye to the brain?
The optic nerve carries signals from the eyes to the brain.
What does the optic nerve control?
Doesn't control anything. It carries information from the retina, at the back of the eye, to the visual cortex, at the back of the brain.
What the name of the nerve that carries the image from the eye to the brain?
optical?
What does the midbrain do?
The midbrain relays sensory information signals to the cerebral cortex and carries motor commands to reflex centers. It controls ear and eye reflexes and the processing of pain, temperature, and touch.
What nerve carries messages away from the eye to the brain?
the Optic Nerve
What nerve carries the impulse to the brain from each eye?
The optic nerve
What carries nerve impulses from the eye to the brain?
The optic nerve
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.
How do eye cells communicate with muscle cells?
The eye cells transmit nerve impulses to the brain, which translates the signal and transmits nerve impulses to the muscles. Information from sensory organs, including the eyes, ears, tongue, and skin, are transmitted by nerve impulses directly to the brain. The brain acting as the control center of the body interprets the nerve impulses. It then sends out different nerve impulses to other cells of the body if a response to the sensory signals is needed.
What transmits pulses from the eye to the brain?
The optic nerve carries the signals from the eyes to the brain. The eye can be considered as part of the brain; an outgrowth of it; and much of the surface of the brain, normally covered by bone, is photo receptive. Some of the signal from each eye goes to both sides of the brain.
