Answer:

sphenoid bone

Step-by-step explanation:

Extracranial. The optic nerve is formed by the convergence of axons from the retinal ganglion cells. These cells in turn receive impulses from the photoreceptors of the eye (the rods and cones). After its formation, the nerve leaves the bony orbit via the optic canal, a passageway through the sphenoid bone.
