Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The area of greatest visual acuity is the fovea centralis, located in the retina.

Answer: D
 The retina contains photoreceptor cells that help sense light and transmit information to the brain.

Answer: I
 Cones are the photoreceptor cells in the retina responsible for color vision and high visual acuity.

Answer: H
 The lens helps focus light onto the retina for clear vision.

Answer: C
 The cornea is a clear layer at the front of the eye that helps refract light onto the lens.

Answer: B
 The optic disc is where the optic nerve exits the eye and there are no photoreceptor cells, resulting in a blind spot.

Answer: G
 The sclera is the white part of the eye that serves as protection and structure for the eye.

Answer: F
 The vitreous humor is a gel-like substance that fills the space between the lens and retina, providing structural support.

Answer: A
 The lacrimal gland produces tears to help lubricate and nourish the eye. It is not directly related to visual acuity.
