The axons of the retina culminate in what nerve?
The axons of the retina culminate in the optic nerve.
Why is there no sensation of light at the optic disk?
Because there are no rods or cones there, since the optic disk is where axons exit the eye to form the optic nerve.
Difference between optic tract and optic nerve?
Bundles of neuron processes are called tracts in the cns and nerves in the pns
Where does the optic nerve begin?
The optic nerve begins at the back of the eye at the optic disc, also known as the blind spot. This is where the ganglion cell axons converge to form the optic nerve, which carries visual information from the retina to the brain for processing.
What tissue has an axon?
Axons are part of nerve tissue, which is found within the nervous system. Nerve tissue is composed of neurons that contain axons for carrying nerve impulses.
What nerve is composed of axons of the ganglion cells and transmits action potentials the thalamus of the brain?
Optic nerve
The axons of the retina culminate in what nerve?
The axons of the retina culminate in the optic nerve.
Do the axons of retinal ganglion cells form the optic nerve?
Yes, the axons of retinal ganglion cells converge to form the optic nerve, which carries visual information from the retina to the brain for processing.
Why is there no sensation of light at the optic disk?
Because there are no rods or cones there, since the optic disk is where axons exit the eye to form the optic nerve.

Axons are part of nerve tissue, which is found within the nervous system. Nerve tissue is composed of neurons that contain axons for carrying nerve impulses.
Which neuron layers of an axon form the optic nerve?
There are three layers of neurons in the retina. The axons of GANGLION CELLS form the optic nerves.
What is the function of optic disk?
It's the place in the eye where axons exit the eye to form the optic nerve, and where blood vessels enter to nourish the retina.
What cell makes up the optic nerve?
Not sure, since I'm working on the same assignment, but I think it is ganglion cells. the gagliano cell axons make a right angle turn at the inner face of the retina then leave the posterior aspect of the eye as the thick optic nerve. page 553 marieb&hoehn axons from the ganglion cells run along the internal surface of the retina and converge posteriorly to form the optic nerve. pg 489 human anatomy 5th ed marieb,mallatt,wilhelm
Difference between a neuron and a nerve?
A bundle of axons is a nerve. A neuron is the cell of the nervous system and is composed of dendrites, axon, and the cell body.
The axons of which of these neuron layers form the optic nerves?
The axons of ganglion cells in the retina form the optic nerves.
