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.
What else can I help you with?
What nerve carries signals from the from the retina to the brain?
Occipital nerve. It is the second cranial nerve.
Where does the optic nerve leave the eye?
The optic nerve exits the retina at the optic disc, otherwise known as the "blind spot".
What cranial nerve deals with vision?
vestibulocochlear nerve
What is optic nerve head pallor also called?
Optic nerve head pallor is also called optic atrophy.
What part of the eye sends message to the brain?
The retina activates, sending a signal down the optic nerve, across the optic chiasm, and back to the visual cortex, where the brain decodes/maps the signals to visual perception. The short answer: the optic nerve
Is the 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.
What nerve carries signals from the from the retina to the brain?
Occipital nerve. It is the second cranial nerve.
What is the junction of the retina and optic nerve?
The junction of the retina and optic nerve is called the optic disc or optic nerve head. This is where the optic nerve exits the eye and carries visual information from the retina to the brain. The optic disc is also known as the blind spot because it lacks photoreceptor cells and cannot detect light.
how do you see?
light goes in you pupil to your light receptors and to the optic nerve and the optic nerve sends information to your brain and it creates a image in your head so you can see
What term describes the region in the eye where the nerve endings of the retina gather to form the optic nerve?
The term for the region in the eye where the nerve endings of the retina gather to form the optic nerve is the "optic disc" or "optic nerve head." This disc is also known as the blind spot since it lacks photoreceptors, making it insensitive to light.
What is the function of the optic nerve?
As with all nerves in the human body, the optic nerve transmits information. In this case, the optic nerve specifically transmits information from the retina of the eye to the brain for analysis and integration, resulting in the perception of "sight."
Is the optic disk the spot where the optic nerve leaves the eyeball?
Yes, the optic disk, also known as the optic nerve head, is the spot on the retina where the optic nerve exits the eye. This location is also known as the blind spot because it lacks photoreceptor cells, making it insensitive to light.
Why is there no sensation of light at the optic disk?
Because there are no rods or cones there, since the optic disk is where axons exit the eye to form the optic nerve.
What is the Light sensitive membrane that connects the optic nerve to the brain?
Retina.
What does light first hit?
It hits your optic nerve and then travels to YOUR MOM!!
What is the point where the optic nerve enters the eyeball?
Point where optic nerve enters eyeball is the optic disc.
Where does the optic nerve leave the eye?
The optic nerve exits the retina at the optic disc, otherwise known as the "blind spot".
