Visual acuity is highest when images are focused on the fovea because of the high concentration of _____ in that region.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fovea contains a high concentration of cones (photoreceptor cells responsible for color vision and high visual acuity), which allow for the sharpest and clearest vision. The peripheral cells, rods, and bipolar cells are less concentrated in this region, which contributes to lower visual acuity outside of the fovea.
