Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The optic disc is where the optic nerve exits the eye, and is sometimes referred to as the "blind spot" because there are no photoreceptor cells in this area. The fovea is a small depression in the retina where visual acuity is highest, but the optic nerve does not pass through this area. Bipolar disc and optic chiasma are not correct answers for this question.
