Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence for recognizing an individual visually starts with photoreceptors in the retina detecting the image, then the signal travels through the optic nerve, crosses at the optic chiasm (where some nerve fibers cross over to the opposite side), and finally reaches the visual cortex in the brain for processing and recognition.
