Is your optic nerve atached to your retina?
Yes, the optic nerve is connected to the retina at the back of the eye. The optic nerve carries visual information from the retina to the brain for processing.
What nerve carries signals from the from the retina to the brain?
Occipital nerve. It is the second cranial nerve.
What is the nerve that takes a picture on the retina and carries it to the brain?
Optic
What carries impulses from the retina to the brain?
The optic nerve carries impulses from the retina to the brain. It is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain for processing.
What does the optic nerve for the human eye do?
The optic nerve carries signals (images) from the retina to the brain.
The brain linked to the eyes by?
The brain is connected to the eyes by the optic nerve. This nerve carries visual information from the retina of the eye to the brain, where it is processed to create our sense of vision.
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 is the name of the second cranial nerve which provides a pathway from retina to brain?
The second cranial nerve is called the optic nerve. It carries visual information from the retina at the back of the eye to the visual centers in the brain, allowing us to process and interpret visual stimuli.
What branch of a nerve carries a message to the brain from a muscle?
afferent
How does the retina send messages to your brain to tell what your seeing?
retina is connected to the nerve and the nerve sends the messages or images to the brain and the brain processes the images
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.
What part of the eye send message to the brain?
The eye connects with with the brain via the optic nerve. Inevitably, it is slightly more complicated than that. The retina of the eye does considerable processing of visual information and the eye/visual context can be considered a single system. Interestingly, by accidents of evolution, the retina is "inside out" - the nerves are on the wrong side and the visual cortex is at the back of the brain making the optic nerve much longer than it needs to be.
