Which portion of the brain interprets visual impulses from the optic nerve?
occipital lobe
Layer that sends inormation along the optic nerve to the occipital lobe?
Retina
Where does the optic nerve end up after it leaves the eye?
At the back of the brain where the occipital lobe is located.
What are the 5 cells located in the occipital lobe?
axons of the ganglion cells leave the eyeball as the optic nerve. At the optic chiasma, the medial fibers of each eye cross over to the opposite side. The fiber tracts formed are called optic tracts. The optic tracts synapse with neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus, whose axons form the optic radiation, terminating in the visual cortex of the occipital lobe of the brain.
Is there a possibility to be blind when the eyes optic nerve and optic lobe are completely unimpaired?
Yes there is a possibility to be blind. It is called functional blindness attributed to a natural "instinctive protest against further danger" (W. B. Pillsbury).
What you see is carried to the occipital lobe by the?
optic nerve (at the back of the eye) which then crosses at the optic chiasm. From this point, the optic tracts travel to the lateral geniculate nucleus, and then on to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe.
What is dorsal to the optic nerve?
frontal lobe
What you see is carried to the occipital lobe by the what?
Optic nerve
What is The means of transmitting light into the brain?
Eye - Retina - Optic Nerves (CNII) - Optic radiations - Occipital Lobe
What is the meaning of transmitting light into the brain?
Eye - Retina - Optic Nerves (CNII) - Optic radiations - Occipital Lobe
Which portion of the brain interprets visual impulses from the optic nerve?
occipital lobe
Layer that sends inormation along the optic nerve to the occipital lobe?
Retina
Branches of the optic nerve go directly to what areas of the brain?
Optic nerve have no branches.Any way fibers from optic nerve ultimately reaches visual cortex(occipital lobe).
Is there a body part that starts with an o that is not oesophagus?
optic nerve organs ovary oesophagus
Where does the optic nerve end up after it leaves the eye?
At the back of the brain where the occipital lobe is located.
The visual pathway to the occipital lobe of the brain consists most simply of a chain of five neurons beginning with the photoreceptor cell of the retina name them and note their location in the pat?
Retina- optic nerve- optic chiasma- optic tract- synapse in thalamus- optic radiation- optic cortex
What part of the brain connects the brain and the eyes?
The optic nerves connect the brain and eyes.
