Question

Fovea centralis is region of

• A. Choroid with only cone cells
• B. Retina with only rod cells
• C. Retina without any sensory cells
• D. Retina with only cone cells

Answer 1

The correct option is D Retina with only cone cells

Fovea centralis is the central cavity of macula lutea which is a yellow pigmented spot in the eye present laterally to the eye. Visual resolution is maximum at fovea because only cones are present. Cones are the photoreceptor cells associated with colour vision and daylight vision. They contain three photopigments, iodopsin, porpyrosin and cyanopsin.

So, the correct answer is 'Retina with only cone cells'.
