Nerve fibers from the medial aspect of each eye?
Cross over to the opposite side at the chiasma.
Nerve fibers from the medial aspect of each eye do what?
cross over to the opposite side at the optic chiasma
Which cranial nerve forms a midline connection allowing fibers to cross to the opposite side of the brain?
thalamus
Place where optic nerve fibers cross in the brain?
the optic disk
What are the origins for lateral spinothalamic and anterior spinothalamic tracts?
Lateral reticulospinal tract : It arises from the nuclei of reticular formation of the brain stem (mainly medulla)Medial reticulspinal tract : It arises from the nuclei of reticular formation of the brain stem (mainly pons)
Where do corticonuclear fibers cross?
The corticonuclear fibers arise in the frontal eyelids and cross to the sides.
The area where some fibers from the eye cross over to the opposite side is called the?
Each eye contains an optic nerve, as the meet at the optic chiasm, some of the nerve fibers cross over. This sensitive area is referred to as the optic nerve pathway crossover.
Why is the left side affected after a brain hemorrhage on the right side?
due to the crossing of nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord that cross from left side to right side. For example, motor nerves leaving the brain on the left side will decussate (cross from one side to the other) in the spinal cord so that when they leave the spinal cord, they flow out to muscles on the opposite side of the body.
What Muscles are used to look cross eyed?
The inferior oblique, superior oblique, lateral rectus, and medial rectus are all used to look cross eyed
What are the 5 cells located in the occipital lobe?
axons of the ganglion cells leave the eyeball as the optic nerve. At the optic chiasma, the medial fibers of each eye cross over to the opposite side. The fiber tracts formed are called optic tracts. The optic tracts synapse with neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus, whose axons form the optic radiation, terminating in the visual cortex of the occipital lobe of the brain.
What is the opposite of cross?
The opposite of the verb to cross is not to cross. Where it means to cross (betray) someone, the opposite would be to abet, assist, or support.The opposite of cross (cranky, in bad spirits) could be cheerful, happy, or amiable.
Decussation of most motor fibers occurs here?
Ans: Frontal LobeExplanation: " The fibers that carry information from the motor area of the frontal lobe of the brain are crossed fibbers. In other words, the fibers leave the motor area of the left frontal lobe, cross over and innervate the right side of the body. The fibers from the right frontal lobe also cross over and innervate the left side of the body. The crossing over of fibers is called DECUSSATION." - from "The Human Body in Health and Illness - Barbara Herlihy p175"
