Optic nerve
The
optic nerve
, also known as
cranial nerve II
, is a paired
nerve
that transmits
visual
information from the
retina
to the
brain
. The optic nerve is derived from
optic stalks
during the seventh week of development and is composed of
retinal ganglion cell
axons and
glial cells
. In humans, the optic nerve extends from the
optic disc
to the
optic chiasm
and continues as the
optic tract
to the
lateral geniculate nucleus
,
pretectal nuclei
, and

.
