Yes, the macula is a small, actually tiny, spot located in the back of the eye in the retina. It is made up of several different layers of tissue and photoreceptor cells.
The most prevalent photoreceptor cells are the cone cells. You can remember this by cone cells help with clarity, color and central vision. It is this part of the retina that is used to read, recognize faces or for driving.
Sometimes it is called the macula lutea which means "yellow spot." The yellow tint comes from the high concentrations of carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin. These carotenoids make up the macular pigment and help to protect our eyes from the damaging effects of blue light. The thicker the pigment, the better the protection
Yes, the retina ultimately is considered an outgrowth of the brain.
Specifically, the brain is the center of the nervous system. The retina is part of the eye. But it also is considered one of the parts of the central nervous system. In the womb, it and the optic nerve are outgrowths of the brain.
The retina is in the back of your eye.

That would be the optic cortex around the back of the brain.

The photoreceptors commonly referred to as "Rods", which are found in the retina, are responsible for night vision. (scotopic vision) "Cones" are responsible for colored vision with brighter light conditions. (photopic vision)

No. Lens is in the front of retina.
The vitreous humour can be found in a human eye. It is the clear gel between the lens and the retina of a human eyeball. It is sometimes call the vitreous body.
Macula is part of the retina in the eye. It is a yellow coloured dot and serves the purpose of providing the high definition of vision. As one gets older, macular degeneration is a real possibility which can result in blindness in the worst cases.
