The optic nerve is not a true cranial nerve as it actually part of the ___
Diencephalon
Which cranial nerve has a chiasm?
Optic nerve. Some fibers cross at the chiasm, some do not.
After fibers from the ____ nerve pass through the chiasm to go back towards the brain, where do they run?
1) optic
2) optic tract (wraps around the brain stem)
The optic nerve leaves the orbit via the ____
