Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fovea centralis is a small, central region of the retina that contains the highest concentration of cones, the photoreceptor cells responsible for sharp, detailed vision. As a result, it is able to provide the sharpest and most acute vision. The optic disk, located at the point where the optic nerve exits the eye, contains no photoreceptor cells and is therefore known as the "blind spot." The lateral and medial margins of the retina are not associated with particularly acute vision.
