What region of the retina contains a high density of photoreceptor cells and allows for extremely detailed vision?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fovea centralis is a small depression in the center of the macula lutea (a region of the retina that has a high concentration of photoreceptor cells) and contains a high density of photoreceptor cells called cones. Cones are responsible for color vision and visual acuity, which allows for extremely detailed vision. The optic disc is the region where the optic nerve exits the eye, and there are no photoreceptor cells present in this region. The ora serrata is the region where the retina ends and is continuous with the ciliary body, but it does not contain a high concentration of photoreceptor cells. The ciliary body is responsible for producing aqueous humor and controlling the shape of the lens, but it does not contain photoreceptor cells.
