Question

What is the area of coincidation of optical nerves called?

Answer 1

Answer:

Optic Chiasma

This place is where the optic nerves cross over, it is just behind the eyes and above the hypothalamus

Answer 2

The optic nerve has been classified as the second of twelve paired cranial nerves but it is technically part of the central nervous system, rather than the peripheral nervous system because it is derived from an out-pouching of the diencephalon (optic stalks) during embryonic development. As a consequence, the fibers of the optic nerve are covered with myelin produced by oligodendrocytes, rather than Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system, and are encased within the meninges. Peripheral neuropathies like Guillain–Barré syndrome do not affect the optic nerve. However, most typically the optic nerve is grouped with the other eleven cranial nerves and is considered to be part of the peripheral nervous system.
