Difference between Optic nerve and Optic neuritis

Optic nerve vs. Optic neuritis

The optic nerve, also known as cranial nerve II, is a paired nerve that transmits visual information from the retina to the brain. Optic neuritis is a demyelinating inflammation of the optic nerve.

Similarities between Optic nerve and Optic neuritis

Optic nerve and Optic neuritis have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Axon, Multiple sclerosis, Occipital lobe, Ophthalmology, Optic neuritis, Optic neuropathy, Retina, Visual perception.

Axon

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials, away from the nerve cell body.

Multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged.
