9 Questions
Where do approximately 90% of optic nerve fibers terminate?
Visual cortex
Which pathway is important in the control of certain visual reflexes such as pupillary reflex and certain eye movements?
Retinotectal and tectal and Pretectal nuclei pathways
What is the primary function of the Retino- - (Primary) geniculo cortical pathway?
Terminating in the visual cortex

Terminating point for optic nerve fibers
Which type of ganglion cells are responsible for sensing movement?
Larger ganglion cells with long dendrites connecting with many bipolar cells
What type of cells are responsible for details in the central retina?
Small ganglion cells
Where do the superior retinal fibers pass in their path to the optic disc?
In an arcuate path to the superior part of the optic disc
Where do the inferior retinal fibers pass in their path to the optic disc?
In an arcuate path to the inferior part of the optic disc
What type of responses do the receptors connected to larger ganglion cells have?
Transient responses
