Question

visual pathway word bank: axial, eye, optic chiasm, coronal, optic nerve, optic radiation, optic tract, primary visual cortex (v1), retina, sagittal, thalamus

Explanation:

The visual pathway starts with light entering the eye. The retina in the eye contains photoreceptor cells that convert light into neural signals. These signals travel along the optic nerve to the optic chiasm where some fibers cross - over. Then the signals continue along the optic tract to the thalamus. From the thalamus, the signals are relayed via the optic radiation to the primary visual cortex (V1) for visual processing. Axial, coronal, and sagittal are planes of sectioning and not part of the visual pathway sequence.

1. eye
