How many receptors does the blind spot have?
The "blind spot" is the point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye. Think of it as a cable attached to the back of the eye, carrying all your visual information to the brain. As a result, there are no receptors at the "blind spot".
Blind spot of the eye contains?
The "blind spot" in all mammals is the tiny area on the retina (light-sensing surface inside the eye) where the optic nerve exits the eye, carrying the optical signals to the brain. It is "blind" because there are no photoreceptors on this tiny area of the retina. In humans, the blind spot in the right eye is about 20 degrees directly to the right of that eye's central vision. In the left eye it is about 20 degrees to the left of that eye's central vision. Thus, normally the opposite eye sees what is in the other eye's blind spot and the brain fills in the missing information. Here is a simple way to demonstrate the blind spot. (I apologize for the ... between the X and W, but formatting is limited here.) To demo the blind spot in your right eye, keep your left eye closed and look directly at the "X" with your right eye. Now move closer or farther from the screen. At about a foot from the screen the W will "disappear" in your peripheral vision (if you look toward the W, it will reappear). To repeat this for your left eye, close your right eye and stare at the "W" as you move closer or farther from the screen. Again, at about a foot away, the X will disappear.X .....................................................................................W
Where does the optic nerve leave the eye?

What causes your blind spot?
At the small spot in each eye where the optic nerve exits the eye, they are no light receptors and therefore no vision. The blind spots are to the outer sides of the field of vision and therefore less critical than if they were close to the center. Also, the blind spot in each eye is compensated for by the other eye for those who have two intact eyes.

its in the optic chiasm which leads to the back of the eye

it is found on the retina
What is the structure also known as the blind spot?
The blind spot is the part of the eye where the optic nerve leaves the eye. There are no light receptors so that is why it is called the blind spot.The spot is called the optic disc, or optic nerve head. Whatever part of your field of vision that falls upon this small spot will not be transmitted to the brain as part of the image. Fortunately for us, where two healthy eyes are functioning, the blind spot of each eye is compensated for by the other eye. There are quick and easy demonstrations of the blind spot that can be very dramatic for first-timers. What you 'perceive' at the blind spot is what the brain literally fills in. The spot seems to take on the general texture and color of whatever is around it. There is no perception of a 'black spot', or an empty space, since these would have to be detected visually.

Yep.
Where in the retinas are the blind spots located?
