optic nerve fibres exit the eye ball and enter the cranium through the WHAT? [1]

optic nerve fibres exit the eye ball and enter the cranium through the WHAT? [1]
optic canal
what are the optic nerves surrounded by extensions of ? [2]
The optic nerves are surrounded by extensions of the cranial meninges and subarachnoid space, which is filled with CSF.
- After travelling through the canal the nerve enters the middle cranial fossa. Each nerve meets to form the WHAT? [1]
- Fibres from the medial aspect of the eye WHAT to the opposite side and then continue on via the WHAT?
- As a result the optic tracts contain fibres from the XX side of the eye on the XX side and the XX retina from the XX site, thus carrying all information from the same half of the visual field.
After travelling through the canal the nerve enters the middle cranial fossa. Each nerve meets to form the optic chiasm.
- Fibres from the medial aspect of the eye cross over to the opposite side and then continue on via the optic tracts.
- As a result the optic tracts contain fibres from the lateral (temporal) retina of the eye on the same side and the nasal retina from the opposite site, thus carrying all information from the same half of the visual field.
whaet is highlighted here?

optic chiasm
where do the paired optic tracts send most axons to synapse: in the XXX XXX XXX of the X?
what happens after this?
After travelling through the canal the nerve enters the middle cranial fossa. Each nerve meets to form the optic chiasm.
- Fibres from the medial aspect of the eye cross over to the opposite side and then continue on via the optic tracts.
- As a result the optic tracts contain fibres from the lateral (temporal) retina of the eye on the same side and the nasal retina from the opposite site, thus carrying all information from the same half of the visual field.
//
where do the paired optic tracts send most axons to synapse: in the lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus
Axons of the thalamic neurons project through the internal capsule to form the optic radiations, which project to the primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe, where conscious perception of visual images occurs.

what is the highlighted thing?

- superior oblique
- levator palpebrae superioris
- medial rectus
- lateral rectus

what is the highlighted thing?
- superior rectus
- superior oblique
- *- levator palpebrae superioris**
- medial rectus
- lateral rectus


what do the following do?
Superior rectus: [3]
Inferior rectus: [3]
Superior oblique: [3]
Inferior oblique: [3]
Superior rectus: elevation, adduction and intorsion
Inferior rectus: depression, adduction and extorsion
Superior oblique: Depression, abduction and intorsion
Inferior oblique: Elevation, abduction and extorsion
The action of the medial and lateral recti is straightforward: medial rectus adducts the globe (eyeball) and lateral rectus abducts the globe, without elevation or depression.
The superior and inferior recti act to elevate and depress the globe respectively. However as the orientation of the muscle is not inline with the angle of the orbit, the recti muscles also create secondary actions.
