Solution

Fovea:

  1. The fovea also known as central fovea or fovea centralis is a tiny depression in the neurosensory retina with the highest visual acuity.
  2. The fovea is the macula's central part and is responsible for central vision.
  3. It is the place where the visual acuity is most significant in the eye because cone cells are tightly packed there.
  4. It has the most number of rods that are responsible for good vision.
