Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The optic disk, also known as the blind spot, is the area of the retina where the optic nerve exits and there are no rods or cones present, making it "blind." The other structures listed are not part of the retina itself. The optic chiasm is where the optic nerves partially cross over each other, the lateral geniculate nucleus is a structure in the thalamus that processes visual information, and the optic nerve carries visual information from the eye to the brain.
