Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fovea is the region of the retina that contains the highest concentration of cones, which are responsible for color vision and high visual acuity. The periphery of the retina contains more rods, which are responsible for low-light vision and peripheral vision. The blindspot is the region of the retina where the optic nerve exits and contains no photoreceptors. The optic disk is the region where the optic nerve enters the eye and also contains no photoreceptors.
