In the standard industry communications reference model, Open Systems Interconnection (OSI), the Session layer (sometimes called the port layer) manages the setting up and taking down of the association between two communicating end points that is called a connection.
BASIC VISUAL PATHWAYS. A. The pathway: Vision is generated by photoreceptors in the retina, a layer of cells at the back of the eye. The information leaves the eye by way of the optic nerve, and there is a partial crossing of axons at the optic chiasm.After the chiasm, the axons are called the optic tract.The optic tract wraps around the midbrain to get to the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), where all the axons must synapse.. Lesions. The easiest way to demonstrate to yourself the consequences of lesions is to strike through a pathway, follow the fibers back to the retina, and see what was affected. Notice that there are lines and numbers drawn on the visual field diagram.
The entire pathway, made up of the retina, the optic nerve, chiasm and tracts, the lateral geniculate bodies, the optic radiation and the visual (striate cortex), can be regarded as part of the central nervous system.he visual cortex is the last part of the optic pathway and processes the information received from the retina. A large portion of it is occupied by the area which corresponds to the macula lutea of the retina.
