Question 1

From a light source to the brain, sequentially trace a visual stimulus through the eye and nervous system. ​

Accepted Answer

Light passes through the cornea, enters the pupil, and is focused by the lens and projected onto the retina. The retina converts the light rays into nerve impulses, which then travel via the optic nerve to the optic chiasm. At the optic chiasm, the axons from the inside half of each eye cross over and project along two divergent pathways to the opposite cerebral hemisphere.
