Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The blind spot of the eye refers to the spot where the optic nerve exits the eye and there are no light-sensitive cells. This spot is also known as the optic disc. The macula lutea and fovea centralis are both areas of the retina that have a high concentration of photoreceptors and are responsible for sharp and detailed vision. The choroid layer is a layer of the eye that contains blood vessels and is located between the retina and the sclera (the white of the eye).
