On which brain side are objects viewed by your left eye interpreted?

right. the signals crisscross at the optic chiasm.


What is the function of optic chiasm in the body?

the optic chiasm is the cross-shape when some of the information from the left eye and right eye cross over and pass into opposite sides of the brain. stereopsis is a binocular depth cue, the greater the difference between the view seen by the left and right eye the closer the viewer is looking. since the image seen by both eyes is different it uses the optic chiasm to pass into both sides of the brain so it can be interpreted by the visual cortex.


What does it mean if you have two lesions on the left side of your brain?

Behavioral/cognitive consequences would depend entirely where the lesions were localized. For instance, if the lesions involved Broca's or Wernicke's areas, (e.g., from lower middle cerebral artery occlusion) then the person would have difficulty with language comprehension and/or expression. Depending on the specific area and extent of injury, this could manifest in a number of ways such as difficulty with: pronunciation, comprehending spoken or written language, specific grammar/certain word use, naming things.


Does shielding effect vary in a period?

yes, increases from left to right


What directions does the Coriolis effect cause winds to turn in the Northern Hemisphere versus in the Southern Hemisphere?

The coriolis effect is the apparent curve of a straight moving object (it turns to the Right in the Northern Hempishere). The coriolis effect is caused by different rotation speeds.

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.

Trace the pathway of nerve impulses from the photoreceptors in the retina to the visual cortex of the brain?

The rods and the cones transduce light waves into neural impulses that pass from the bipolar cells to the ganglion cells, whose axons from the optic nerve beyond the retinal wall of each eye. At the optic chiasm, the two optic nerves come together, and some of the nerve fibers from each eye cross to the opposite side of the brain. They synapse with neurons in the thalamus, which transmit the neural impulses to the primary visual cortex.

The right visual field.


Does the left optic nerve carry eye messages only to the left brain side?

No it does not. The left optic nerve carries messages to the right side of the brain. The signals cross over to the other side at the base of the brain.

What is the function of the optic chiasm?

The optic chiasma is in front of the pituitary gland where optic nerve fibers pass to the brain. The function of the optic chiasma is to relay electric signals as they pass from the optic nerve to the brain.


What is the blind spot of the retina?

That is the place on the retina where the optic nerve exits the eye; there are no light receptors there. In your left eye it is left of the center of the field of vision, and in the right eye it is right of the center of the field of vision. So physically, they are both inside of center. It is fun to demonstrate the blind spots and it is easily done.

Why would someone have to have urinary tract infection treatment?

Urinary tract infections are very painful. Both females and males of all ages can suffer from urinary tract infections. Urinary tract infections left untreated can cause an upper tract infection that could be extremely dangerous and far more painful for any patient.
