The retina is filled with rods and cones- except for one spot. This place that lack rods and cones is called the blind spot, which can be found by covering up one eye and looking at something with the other. Out of the corner of your uncovered eye, you will will see something disappear. We don't realize it on a daily basis because our brain fills in the empty spot. The blind spot is located near the optic nerve and is about 2mm wide.
The optic disk, a.k.a. "the blind spot" in the retina.
At the physiological blind spot, where the optic nerve crosses the retina.
optic disc (blind spot). this is the correct term
Optic Disc
-------------------
This area can't detect images & it's called the blind spot
structure that transmit visual inputs from the eye to the brain
The place where the optic nerve comes off the eye ball. Also called the optic disk or blind spot.
The optic nerve lacks photoceptors.

Blind Spot
Rods and cones are inside a layer of the eyeball called the retina.
The retina (the red of your eye that you sometimes see in photographs) are where the rods and cones are located.
The Retina
Sensory nerve cells called rods and cones are found in the Retina.
The rods and cones located in the retina.
the retina
Rods and cones are inside a layer of the eyeball called the retina.
The optic disc or blind spot is where optic nerve leaves the back of the eye. There are no photoreceptors (rods/cones) in that area.
retina
There are two types called rods, which a simply sensitive to light and dark, and cones which are sensitive to colours. Both types are found on the retina but the rods dipsersed evenly over the surface whereas cones are concentrated on an area called the fovea.
Rods and cones are in the sensory components in the retina of the eye. They are essential to the sense of sight.
Rods and cones are nerve tissue contained in the retina.

The retina (the red of your eye that you sometimes see in photographs) are where the rods and cones are located.
Rods and cones are located in the retina of the eye. There are more rods than cones, and rods are involved with seeing at night or in low light situations.
The retina
The retina of the eye has rods and cones.
