What is the order of the neural pathway?

retina optic nerve optic chiasma optic tract lateral geniculate nucleus optic radiations primary visual cortex


The visual pathway to the occipital lobe of the brain consists most simply of a chain of five neurons beginning with the photoreceptor cell of the retina name them and note their location in the pat?

Photoreceptor cells in the retina. Bipolar cells in the retina. Ganglion cells in the retina. Optic nerve fibers in the optic nerve. Lateral geniculate nucleus in the thalamus. Optic radiation fibers in the brain to the primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe.


Which cells comprise the chain of five cells in the visual pathway beginning with the photoreceptor cell of the retina?

The chain of cells in the visual pathway from photoreceptor cell of the retina includes bipolar cells, ganglion cells, optic nerve fibers, and lateral geniculate nucleus cells in the thalamus. These cells work together to transmit visual information from the retina to the visual cortex in the brain.


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 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.


The axons of the retina culminate in what nerve?

the axons of the retina culminate in the optic nerve which forms a blind spot on the retina


Which term describes the region in the eye where the nerve endings of the retina gather to form the optic nerve?

The term is "optic disc" or "optic nerve head." This is the point in the eye where the optic nerve exits and carries visual information to the brain.


Is your optic nerve atached to your retina?

yes it is, and the optic nerve is attached to your brain.


Neurons in the retina exit the eye forming the what?

Neurons in the retina exit the eye forming the optic nerve.


What is the anterior visual pathway?

The anterior visual pathway refers to the pathway that visual information takes from the eyes to the visual cortex in the brain. It includes the optic nerves, optic chiasm, optic tracts, and lateral geniculate nucleus. This pathway is responsible for transmitting visual signals from the retina to the brain for processing and interpretation.


What nerve does the retina form?

optic nerve


What nerve carries signals from the from the retina to the brain?

Occipital nerve. It is the second cranial nerve.
