What function does the nucleus serve?
It serves as the cells brain
Basic function of nucleus?
In cells, the function of the nucleus is to control the cell. If I had to describe the nucleus in a cell, I would say the heart, or brain of the cell.
What is a nucleous like?
The nucleus is like the government. The function of the nucleus is to maintain the work of the cell.
What is a description of a nucleus?
Nucleus of An AtomThe nucleus of an atom is a dense region consisting of protons and neutrons. The nucleus is found in the center of an atom. More than 99% of the atom's mass is found in the nucleus.Nucleus of a CellA cell's nucleus contains much of the genetic material. Most people think of the nucleus as the "brain" of a cell. Inside the nucleus is the nucleolus, which produces ribosomes.
What is the center of the atom where protons and neutrons are?
Atomic nucleus .
What are the two structures that make up the metathalamus?
lateral geniculate body : relay nucleus for visual impulsesmedial geniculate body : relay nucleus for auditory impulses
What is the definition of ventral-lateral?
Ventral-lateral is a medical term that refers to the geniculate nucleus, which is a thalamus nucleus. The term means affecting or pertaining to the front and side.
What is lgn referr to in the eye?
This stands for lateral geniculate nucleus. It is in the thalamus and is the primary relay centre for visual information from the retina in the eye.
Where is the lateral geniculate body located?
The Brain
What is the order of the neural pathway?
retina optic nerve optic chiasma optic tract lateral geniculate nucleus optic radiations primary visual cortex
What does the posterior nuclei of the thalamus consist of?
lateral and medial geniculate nuclei
What is the first way station in the visual pathway from the eye?
lateral geniculate body of the thalamus
In the visual pathways to the brain the optic radiations project to the what?
The optic radiations, one on each side of the brain, carry information from the thalamic lateral geniculate nucleus to layer 4 of the visual cortex. (primary visual cortex)
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 the name of the x-shaped structure below the hypothalamus?
there are possibly two..most likely seems to be pointing to the optic chiasm (where the optic nerves running back to the lateral geniculate nucleus cross) or they could be referring to the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus which is a structure that is involved in processing light for circadian rhythms (biological clock).
Accommodation visual reflex for near objects does not lost in lesions of pretectal nucleus why?
Only the light reflex goes through the Pretectum. The Near Reflex goes through the Lateral Geniculate Body, through the Visual Cortex, to the Edinger-Westphal and out CN III and the Ciliary Ganglia.
What is the function of the nucleus and where is it located?
there is no function to the nucleus. the nucleus is located in the middle of your body:)
