Which part of retina consists of only cones?

  • Fovea centralis

  • optic nerve

  • Blind spot

  • Orasmata


A.

Fovea centralis

Fovea centralis is a small, central pit composed of closely packed cones in the eye. Ability for vision is highest in the fovea.

Optic nerve is a bundle of more than 1 million nerve fibres that carry visual messages. It is composed of retinal ganglion cell axon and glial cells.

Blind spot is a small portion of the visual field of each eye that corresponds to the position of the optic disk within the retina. There are no photoreceptors in the optic disk and therefore, no image detection takes place.
