The Fovea Centralis and Macula Lutea

Question

The fovea centralis and macula lutea
A) secrete aqueous humor.
B) are richly populated with cones.
C) are primarily responsible for night vision.
D) cover the surface of the optic disc.

Accepted Answer

The fovea centralis and macula lutea are both regions of the retina that are richly populated with cones, which are responsible for color vision and high visual acuity. They are not responsible for night vision and do not secrete aqueous humor. They are also not located on or covering the surface of the optic disc.
