Blood vessels enter the eye and nerve processes exit the eye at the ________.

A) optic disc
B) macula lutea
C) sensory retina
D) fovea centralis
E) pupil

Optic Disc

The point of exit for ganglion cell axons leaving the eye. Because there are no rods or cones overlying the optic disc, it creates a blind spot in visual fields.

Sensory Retina

The part of the retina that contains photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) responsible for converting light into electrical signals for vision.

Macula Lutea

A region in the retina responsible for high-acuity vision where a high concentration of photoreceptor cells are located.
