Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cones in the fovea have the smallest receptive field, as they have the highest spatial acuity and are densely packed in the center of the retina. Rods have larger receptive fields and are more sensitive to light in the periphery of the retina, which helps with detecting motion and low-light conditions.
