Part of the retina that lacks photoreceptors?

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.


Where does the optic nerve enter the eye?

The optic nerve enters the eye at the back of the eyeball through an opening called the optic disc. This area is also known as the blind spot because it lacks light-sensitive cells (rods and cones) that are present in other parts of the retina.


Nerves that transmits message from the rods and cones?

The nerves that transmit messages from the rods and cones are called optic nerves. Rods and cones are specialized cells in the retina of the eye that detect light and convert it into electrical signals. These signals are then transmitted through the optic nerves to the brain, where they are processed and interpreted as visual information.


Where the center of the retina there is a spot where there are no rods and cones this is because of?

the optic nerve


What part of the eye contains no rods or cones?

Many parts actually but if you're talking about the back of the eye (retina) then it would be the optic disk where all the ganglion cell axons exit the back of the eye to form the optic nerve.


What is the area on the retina where the optic nerve attaches and has no rods or cones to detect light or color?

It's called the blind spot - it can't detect light because there are no light sensitive receptor cells located here.


Area of the retina that lacks rods and cones?

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.


What contains visual receptors called rods and cones?

Rods and cones are in the sensory components in the retina of the eye. They are essential to the sense of sight.


Can optic nerve impulses only be interpreted as light?

There are two types of sensory receptors: rods and cones. Rods detect light, and cones detect shape.


Why is there no sensation of light at the optic disk?

Because there are no rods or cones there, since the optic disk is where axons exit the eye to form the optic nerve.


What part of the eye receives impulses from the cones and rods?

i think the hippocampus.


What is made up of special nerve cells that are connected to rods and cones?

the answer to that questions is the optic nerve
