What term describes the region in the eye where the nerve endings of the retina gather to form the optic nerve?
optic disk
What is the layer of photoreceptors?
the retina contains the rods and cones which sense the amount of light and different colors respectively.
What is the back of the eye called?
Your Retina
Can you die of a torn retina?
You can not die from a torn retina.
The retina is found in which part of body?
The retina is in the eye.
What term describes the region in the eye where the nerve endings of the retina gather to form the optic nerve?
optic disk
Which term describes the region where vision is sharpest on the retina?
Macula Lutea
What is the back of the eye filled with nerve endings?
The retina is the structure at the back of the eyeball that is filled with nerve endings.
What is the region in the center of the retina?
The center region of the retina is called the macula. this is where images are focused.
What is the yellowish region on the retina lateral to the optic disc?
macula
What is the region of the retina where images are focused called?

Which term describes reattachment of a detached retina by using a laser?
Laser trabeculoplasty
How do the colors form?
There is no color until light impinges on the photosensitive nerve endings in your eye. Until then, it's just electromagnetic radiation with different wavelengths. When that radiation falls on the retina of your eye, different wavelengths produce chemical reactions in different nerve endings, and the brain interprets the signals from different nerve endings as different colors.
Yellowish region in the retina containing thr fovea centralis is called the?
Macula Lutea
What is different about the region of the retina called the fovea compared with the rest of the retina?
The fovea or fovea centralis that is a pit in the central region of the macula of the retina with a high concentration of cone photoreceptors (red, blue and green) that allows for 100% visual acuity including color vision comprises less than 1% of retinal size but takes up over 50% of the primary visual cortex in the brain.
What energy allows your eyes to see color?
-- The electromagnetic energy in visible light. -- The chemical energy in the food you eat that keeps your body functioning, especially the nerve endings in your retina, and your optic nerve and your brain.
Why are Visual sensations from images focused on the side of the retina tend to be blurred?
because there are more rods than cones in this region
