Question

put the components of the visual projection pathway in order starting with the retina and ending with the brain.
rank the options below.
primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe
lateral geniculate nucleus of thalamus
optic tracts
optic radiations
bipolar and ganglion cells of the retina
hemidecussation in optic chiasm

Explanation:

The visual projection pathway starts with the bipolar and ganglion cells of the retina (first step as they are in the retina). Then the information goes through the optic tracts (second step). After that, there is hemidecussation in the optic chiasm (third step). Next, the lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus (fourth step) processes the visual information. Then the optic radiations (fifth step) carry the visual signals. Finally, the primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe (sixth step) is the end - point for visual processing.

Answer:

1. Bipolar and ganglion cells of the retina
2. Optic tracts
3. Hemidecussation in optic chiasm
4. Lateral geniculate nucleus of thalamus
5. Optic radiations
6. Primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe
