Answer 1

retina

Question 2

the bundles of retinal ganglion cell axons that leave each eyeball ; the second cranial nerves

Answer 2

optic nerves

Question 3

the x-shaped midline structure on the inferior surface of the hypothalamus ; the retinal ganglion cells axon originating in the medial

Answer 3

optic chiasm

Question 4

the tracts, left and right that project from the optic, chaism to the lateral geniculate nuclei , composed of the axons of retinal ganglion cells

Answer 4

optic tracts

Question 5

thalamic nuclei that relay visual info from the optic tracts to the ipsilateral primay visual cortex

Answer 5

lateral geniculate nuclei

Question 6

diffuse neural pathways from each lateral geniculate nucleus to the primary visual cortex of the same hemisphere

Answer 6

optic radiations

Question 7

areas of occipital cortex, one left and one right, that receive most of their input from the lateral geniculate nuclei of the thalamus

Answer 7

primary visual cortex

Question 8

areas of cerebral cortex, one in each hemisphere that surround primary visual cortex; the prestriate cortex of each hemisphere contains several different functional areas of secondary visual cortex

Answer 8

prestriate cortex

Question 9

cortex of inferior temporal lobes, in each hemisphere contains several different functions areas

Answer 9

inferotemporal cortex

Question 10

Answer 10

posterior parietal lobe
