Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. The optic nerve, also known as cranial nerve II, is a paired nerve that transmits visual information from the retina to the brain. The optic nerve is derived from optic stalks during the seventh week of development and is composed of retinal ganglion cell axons and glial cells.
Bring 2 water to a simmer in a large stockpot. Add two 1 1/2-lb. live lobsters (yes, alive) and quickly cover potâwalk away if you need to. Steam lobsters until shells are bright red and meat is cooked through, 8â10 minutes. Remove from pot with tongs and let cool 5 minutes before cracking. Serve with melted unsalted butter.
Continue to boil the lobster until the shells turn bright red. Boil the lobsters for 10 minutes for the first pound, and four minutes for each pound following, per lobster. For example, if you are cooking one, 3 lb. lobster, boil it for 18 minutes. If you are cooking two 3 lb. lobsters, boil for 36 minutes.
