Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The optic disk, also known as the optic nerve head, is the point of exit for axons of the ganglion cells that form the optic nerve. Blood vessels also enter and exit the eye at this location. The macula and fovea are regions of the retina responsible for central vision, and the temporal retina refers to the side of the retina that is closest to the temples.
