WHICH TYPE OF NERVE IS OPTICNERVE?

The optic nerve (also known as cranial nerve II) is a continuation of the axons of the ganglion cells in the retina.  There are approximately 1.1 million nerve cells in each optic nerve.  The optic nerve, which acts like a cable connecting the eye with the brain, actually is more like brain tissue than it is nerve tissue.
