Q

Optic nerve innervates______

A

Rods and cones detect light and create electrical impulses that connect to the retinas and take information to the middle of the brain where it crosses over at the optical chiasm and the occipital lobe/visual cortex does the processing

Q

Vestibulocochlear nerve innervation____

A

As sound vibrates the tympanic membrane -> bone movement -> measured by chocleus -> turned to auditory signal-> processed in the temporal lobe
