Where does the olfactory nerve attach?
The olfactory nerve attaches to the olfactory epithelium in the upper nasal cavity. It consists of a collection of specialized nerve cells called olfactory receptor neurons, which detect and transmit smell signals to the brain.
What is the junction of the retina and optic nerve?
The junction between the retina and the optic nerve is the optic disc.
Name the five cranial sensory nerves each belonging to a different sense?
Olfactory nerve, optic nerve, facial nerve, glossopharyngeal . . . .I'm confused here
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.
What interprets input from the senses?
it was the nervous system
What cranial nerves are not associated with the brainstem?
The olfactory bulbs [I] and the optic nerve [II]
Which carnial nerves are purely sensory?
Actually, there are three cranial nerves that are completely sensory: Olfactory nerve, Optic nerve and the Vestibulocohlear nerve. The Optic nerve is responsible for sensory information for vision, the Olfactory nerve is responsible for sensory information coming from the nose and the Vestibulocohlear (the craziest word to spell) involves sensory information for hearing (get it?- cohlear, ear) and equilibrium.
Which cranial nerves carries only sensory information?
The question is asking what three cranial nerves are purely sensory in their function. Some relevant terms here are olfactory, optic, and auditory or vestibucochlear or acoustic nerves. The only three cranial nerves that are pure sensory in function are cranial nerve #1 : the olfactory nerve (smell), cranial nerve #2 : the optic nerve (sight), and cranial nerve #8 : the auditory/vestibucochlear/acoustic nerve (hearing).

What is the junction of the retina and optic nerve?
The junction between the retina and the optic nerve is the optic disc.
What are the sensory receptors for eyes and nose?
The sensory receptors for the eyes are the optic nerve and the retina. The sensory receptor for the nose are the olfactory nerves.

What carries sensory information from the eye to the brain?
optic....................
What is a difference between optic nerve and auditory nerve?
Optic nerve is found in the eye which sends the nerve impulses from the eye to the brain. The auditory nerve is present in the ear and sends the nerve impulses from the ear to the brain. They both have the same functions though they're present in different places.
What interprets input from the senses?
it was the nervous system
What nerve carries signals from the from the retina to the brain?
Occipital nerve. It is the second cranial nerve.
