Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The retina is the thin, light-sensitive membrane that contains sensory receptors for light, including rods and cones. The fovea is a small, central area of the retina that contains a high concentration of cones, while the optic disk is the point where the optic nerve exits the eye and contains no sensory receptors. The optic nerve carries visual information from the eye to the brain.
