Visual acuity is sharpest when images are focused on the fovea because there is a high concentration of which of the following in this region?

B) cones
C) ganglion cells
D) bipolar cells

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cones are responsible for high acuity vision and are most densely packed in the fovea, while rods are responsible for low light vision and are found primarily in the peripheral regions of the retina. Ganglion cells and bipolar cells are involved in transmitting visual information to the brain, but their density is not directly correlated with visual acuity.
