Which area of the retina has the highest concentration of cones?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fovea centralis is the area of the retina that has the highest concentration of cones, which are responsible for high-resolution vision and color perception. The optic disc (A) is the area where the optic nerve exits the eye, and therefore has no photoreceptors. The optic nerve (B) is not part of the retina. The choroid (C) is a layer of tissue that provides blood supply to the retina, but does not contain photoreceptors. The ciliary body (E) helps to control the shape of the lens and is not directly involved in vision.
