In mammalian eye, the ‘fovea’ is the centre of the visual field, where: (1) More rods than cones are found. (2) High density of cones occurs, but has no rods (3) The optic nerve leaves the eye (4) Only rods are present

Correct option: In mammalian eye, the ‘fovea’ is the centre of the visual field, where high density of cones occurs, but has no rods.     

Explanation for the correct option:

  • The fovea centralis has high density of cone s occur, but has no rods.
  • The half of the optic nerves’ transverse from this region.
  • The fovea centralis innervated with numerous cones, are considered to be used for sharp central vision while reading, driving and primary uses.
