Question

8) A blind spot in the retina occurs where A) the fovea is located. B) rod cells are clustered to form the macula. C) the optic nerve leaves the eye. D) amacrine cells are located. E) ganglion cells synapse with bipolar cells.

Answer 1

Answer:

option c

Explanation:

A natural blind spot also called the optic disc in the eyes occurs where the blood vessels and axons of the ganglion cells leave to form the optic nerve. it is so called because there are no receptors (rods and cones) in this part of the retina. Artificial blind spots can also be formed when something prevents light from getting to the photoreceptors which are the rods and the cones.
