It's the place in the eye where axons exit the eye to form the optic nerve, and where blood vessels enter to nourish the retina.
Because there are no rods or cones there, since the optic disk is where axons exit the eye to form the optic nerve.
Optic Disk
the optic disk
The optic nerve exits the retina at the optic disc, otherwise known as the "blind spot".
The function of central retinal artery is that it does absoulutely nothing.....jk.......the artery helps the eye with its central visionn by the fovea and optic nerve n disk...!to be continued..........
Yes, the optic disk, also known as the optic nerve head, is the spot on the retina where the optic nerve exits the eye. This location is also known as the blind spot because it lacks photoreceptor cells, making it insensitive to light.
Inflammation of the retina extending to the optic disk.
the Optic Disk
Optic disc:The optic disc is also called the blind spot. There are no receptors in this part of the retina. This is where all of the axons of the ganglion cells(last neurons before optic nerve) exit the retina to form the optic nerve.
the Optic Disk
The term is "optic disc" or "optic nerve head." This is the point in the eye where the optic nerve exits and carries visual information to the brain.
Symptoms of optic atrophy are a change in the optic disc and a decrease in visual function
