Which Part of the Retina Has an Area of High

Question

Which part of the retina has an area of high cone density?
A) choroid
B) optic disc
C) macula lutea
D) none of the above

Accepted Answer

The macula lutea is a small area in the central part of the retina that contains a high concentration of cone photoreceptor cells, which are responsible for color vision and visual acuity. This is why the macula lutea is also known as the "fovea centralis", which is the area of the retina that produces the sharpest and most detailed vision. The choroid is a layer of tissue that provides blood supply to the retina, and the optic disc is the point where the optic nerve enters and leaves the eye. Neither of these areas have a high cone density.
