Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fovea is the small central area of the retina where visual acuity is highest and there is a high density of cones, which are responsible for the perception of color and fine details. The periphery refers to the outer edges of the retina, where visual acuity and cone density decrease. The lateral center and optic disc are not relevant to this question.
