What are the Histological Features of the Optic Nerve?
The optic nerve transmits visual information from the retina to the brain. It comprises:
- Axons of ganglion cells: These form the bulk of the optic nerve. - Glial cells: Such as astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, which provide support and myelination to the axons. - Connective tissue: Surrounding and protecting the nerve fibers.
