What transfers images to the optic nerve?
retina
Is your optic nerve atached to your retina?
yes it is, and the optic nerve is attached to your brain.
What nerve carries signals from the from the retina to the brain?
Occipital nerve. It is the second cranial nerve.
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?
Retina- optic nerve- optic chiasma- optic tract- synapse in thalamus- optic radiation- optic cortex
What happens at the optic chiasm?
Axons from each retina cross at the optic chiasm.
What is the order of the neural pathway?
retina optic nerve optic chiasma optic tract lateral geniculate nucleus optic radiations primary visual cortex
Which part of the brain does the optic nerve lead to?
Lateral Genicluate Nucleus
Which term describes the region in the eye where the nerve endings of the retina gather to form the optic nerve?
optic disk
What term describes the region in the eye where the nerve endings of the retina gather to form the optic nerve?
optic disk
What is the junction of the retina and optic nerve?
The junction between the retina and the optic nerve is the optic disc.
Encoded information travels along the optic nerve to the?
The optic nerve transmits visual impulses from the retina to the brain.
Which cells comprise the chain of five cells in the visual pathway beginning with the photoreceptor cell of the retina?
retina-optic nerve-optic chiasma synapse at thalamus-optic radiation-optic cortex
Is the retina at the back of the eye?
outer surface of retina is attached to the choroid..inner surface is in contact with the hyaloid membrane..it is continuous posteriorly with 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 transfers images to the optic nerve?
retina
What nerve does the retina form?
optic nerve
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
