What nerve carries the action potentials from the ganglion cells to the thalamus of the brain?
The optic nerves carry the impulses from the eyes to the visual area of the thalamus.
Which part of the brain receives impulses for sight from the eyes?
Fore Brain
How does the message from the nerve cells in the eyes reach the brain?
Through electrical impulses travelling along nerves and neurons at speeds of over 120 mph. They travel from the occipital nerves in the backs of the eyes to the occipital lobe, which is located in the back of your 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 cranial nerve deals with vision?
vestibulocochlear nerve
What nerve carries the action potentials from the ganglion cells to the thalamus of the brain?
The optic nerves carry the impulses from the eyes to the visual area of the thalamus.
What is a nerve cell that carries info from eyes to the brain?
optic nerve
How does the optic nerve work?
The optic nerve is a group of nerve fibers that function to provide vision. The optical never works by transferring electrical impulses to the brain from a part of the eyes known as the retina.
What messages the eye to the brain?
The optic nerve carries signals from the eyes to the brain.
How do eye cells communicate with muscle cells?
The eye cells transmit nerve impulses to the brain, which translates the signal and transmits nerve impulses to the muscles. Information from sensory organs, including the eyes, ears, tongue, and skin, are transmitted by nerve impulses directly to the brain. The brain acting as the control center of the body interprets the nerve impulses. It then sends out different nerve impulses to other cells of the body if a response to the sensory signals is needed.
What is the function of spinal nerves- afferent?
They carry nerve impulses from your sensory organs, like your eyes, to your brain, or your central nervous system (CNS). When your eyes see something shiny on the ground, your afferent nerves tell your brain what your eyes see. In contrast, efferent nerves carry nerve impulses from your brain to parts of your body. So, when you see something shiny on the ground, your brain tells you to pick it up and look at it. Efferent = "Exiting", the nerves impulses are exiting your brain. Afferent = the opposite
What is the optic nerve?
I don't know but you are getting on my nerves! Well I do know. The optic nerve is the second cranial nerve and carries information from the eyes into the brain. It does not have any control over the movement of the eyes as this comes from other nerves it only takes special sensory information on the images that the retina is receiving back to the brain to be processed. The optic nerve contains approximately 1.2 million neurons.
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."
What carries sensory information from the eye to the brain?
optic....................
Which part of the brain receives impulses for sight from the eyes?
Fore Brain
What nerve is carrying impulses from the eye to the thalamus?
The optic nerves carry the impulses from the eyes to the visual area of the thalamus.
What 2 organs are connected to the brain by the optic nerve?
The eyes are connected to the brain by the optic nerve.
