Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The periphery of the retina contains mostly rods, which are responsible for our ability to see in low light conditions and detect motion. The fovea, on the other hand, contains mostly cones, which are responsible for color vision and fine detail. The blind spot is the point on the retina where the optic nerve exits and there are no photoreceptors present. The center of the retina (also known as the macula) has a high concentration of cones and is responsible for our ability to see fine detail and color in the center of our visual field.
