The optic nerve is a bundle of tissue that transmits the signals generated from the eye to the brain. In essence, the optical nerve is the connection between the eye and the brain. It consists of a grouping of over one million nerve fibers, although the tissue of the optic nerve is actually more closely related to brain tissue than to nerve tissue - hope its good enough ^.^ c": c(:

generated by light, to the brain, where they are processed and interpreted to
mean something.

How does the light travel to your brain?
two lovley cells types in your retina, receive the light focused through the lense in your eye, and convert the light into two signals. Color, and shape, or something like that. they then traver down the optical nerve to opposite sides of your vision center. as in, the left eye's nerve goes the the right side of the vision center in your brain. you brain then unscrambles the signal into better-than- HD images for your veiwing pleasure. Exuse my strange explanation.
What is the part of the eye that converts light energy to electricity into electrical 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.

The signals generated by the rods and cones are carried to your brain by the?
The Optic Nerve
How do you use optical in a sentence?
That laser light really did damage my optic nerve.
What is the nerve of the human eye?
the optic nerve
What does the optic nerve for the human eye do?
The optic nerve carries signals (images) from the retina to the brain.
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 is the function of the optic disk in the eye?
Optic disc:The optic disc is also called the blind spot. There are no receptors in this part of the retina. This is where all of the axons of the ganglion cells(last neurons before optic nerve) exit the retina to form the optic nerve.
Where in the human body would you find the optic nerve?
from the back of the eye to the brain.
Is there an optic nerve for each eye?
The optic nerve is in the eye (optical, Optical illusions)
Where does the optic nerve leave the eye?
The optic nerve exits the retina at the optic disc, otherwise known as the "blind spot".
Is there a structure in a camera that matches the function of the optic nerve in a human eye?
That should be the shutter.
Right optic nerve?
your optic nerve attatches your eye and brain together
What carries nerve impulses from the eye to the brain?
The optic nerve
Where does the optic nerve enter the eye?
The optic nerve enters the eye at the back of the eyeball through an opening called the optic disc. This area is also known as the blind spot because it lacks light-sensitive cells (rods and cones) that are present in other parts of the retina.
What are the parts of human eye?
The parts of the human eye are:1. Iris2. Pupil3. Cornea4. Sclera5. Lens6. Macula7. Retina8. Optic Nerve
