visual pathway diagrams

A visual pathway diagram illustrates how our eyes detect light and send signals to our brain to create images. It starts with the eye capturing light through the retina, where photoreceptor cells convert it into electrical signals. These signals travel via the optic nerve toward the brain, crossing at the optic chiasm, where some fibers switch sides. Then, they proceed to the visual cortex in the brain's occipital lobe, where the signals are processed to form our visual perception. The diagram helps visualize how visual information flows from the eye to the brain, enabling sight.
