Q

What is the function of the optic chiasm, tract, and nerve?

A
  • The optic chiasm allows for binocular vision by combining visual information from both eyes.
  • The optic tract carries visual information fromn the optic chiasm to the brains geniculate bodies.
  • The optic nerve sends visual infomation fromn the eye to the brain.
