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.
Where do half of the fibers of each optic nerve decussate at?
Half of the fibers of each optic nerve decussate at the optic chiasm, which is located at the base of the brain just in front of the pituitary gland. This crossing allows visual information from the right visual field to be processed by the left hemisphere and vice versa. The decussation is crucial for binocular vision and depth perception. After crossing, the fibers continue as the optic tracts to the lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus.
What carries messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse?
Axons carry messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse. These long fibers transmit electrical impulses and release neurotransmitters at the synapse to communicate with other cells.
Which cranial nerve forms a midline connection allowing fibers to cross to the opposite side of the brain?
thalamus
What are the deltoid muscle fibers separated into?
The deltoid muscle fibers are separated into three distinct anatomical regions: the anterior (front), lateral (middle), and posterior (rear) fibers. Each region has different functions; the anterior fibers primarily assist in shoulder flexion and internal rotation, the lateral fibers are responsible for shoulder abduction, and the posterior fibers facilitate shoulder extension and external rotation. This organization allows for a wide range of shoulder movements.
Synapse site for afferent fibers to sensory cortex?
Thalamus
What is an important synapse site for afferent fibers traveling to the sensory cortex?
The thalamus.
Important synapse site for afferent fibers traveling to the sensory cortex?
Thalamus is the important synapse site for afferent fibers traveling to the sensory cortex. It acts as a relay station, processing sensory information before transmitting it to the appropriate areas of the sensory cortex for further processing and perception.
What is the name of the synapse site in the brain for afferent fibers that travel to the sensory cortex?
i think it is the choroid plexus....not for sure though ---- Afferent sensory fibers (those returning to the brain from the periphery) synapse first in the posterior horn of the spinal cord, ascend one to two levels and decussate (cross over) at the anterior white commissure before their axons migrate to the anterior or lateral spinothalamic tracts. These then synapse again in the thalamus for integration before they go on to the post-central gyrus - the sensory cortex - and other sites in the 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.

These cells work together to transmit visual information from the retina to the visual cortex in the brain.
Nerve fibers of the olfactory tracts lead to?
The olfactory tract is split into medial and lateral. Their projections are to 5 different areas of the brain- anterior olfactory nucleus, olfactory tubercle, Piriform cortex, Amygdala, Entorhinal cortex The lateral tract originates from the olfactory epithelium separates into mitral cells and tuft cells. mitral cells synapses onto all 5 of the regions to ultimately synapse onto the orbitofrontal cortex via the thalamus or the frontal cortex. tufted cells on the other hand only synapse onto the anterior olfactory nucleus and the olfactory tubercle The medial or vomeronasal tract projects to mitral cells that synapse only to the Amygdala
What is the pathway for crude pain?
Crude pain is transmitted via A-delta and C fibers to the spinal cord and then ascends to the brainstem and thalamus. From the thalamus, the pain signals are projected to the somatosensory cortex for processing and perception.
What connects gray matter on the left and right sides of the spinal cord?
That sounds as if it is a brain. Another answer: It is the Thalamus. The thalamus consists of two lateral masses of neural tissue that are joined by a narrow isthmus of neural tissue called the intermediate mass.
Direction in which the muscle fibers run relative to some imaginary line?
These muscle fibers are said to be lateral.
Do the white communicating rami contain myelinated preganglionic sympathetic nerve fibers and are present in all apinal nerves?
Yes and No. White communicating rami contain mylinated preganglionic sympathetic nerve fibers, but are only present at the levels of spinal cord segments T1-L2 (where the cell bodies for these nerve fibers exist in the lateral horn of the spinal cord). Although the sympathetic fibers only arise in the T1-L2 spinal cord segments, they are dispersed to all spinal nerves by traveling through the sympathetic chain. The preganglionic sympathetic fibers will enter the sympathetic chain thru whit rami communicans and then do one of 4 things: 1. synapse with a postganglionic cell body in the sympathetic chain at the level it enters 2. ascend within the chain to synapse 3. descend within the chain to synapse 4. splanchnic nerves leave the chain without synapsing and synapse closer to the organ they innervate.There are, however, GRAY rami communicans for all spinal nerves.I hope that helps
