The macula is a small, specialized area at the center of the retina. Its components include the fovea, which is responsible for sharp central vision, and the macular pigment, which helps protect the retina from harmful blue light. The macula also contains specialized light-sensitive cells called cone photoreceptors.
What else can I help you with?
Where is the macula located in the ear?
The macula is located in the vestibule of the inner ear, specifically in the utricle and saccule. It is responsible for sensing gravity and linear acceleration to help maintain balance.
What towns did the volcano Ganesa Macula destroy?
Ganesa Macula is a cryovolcanic structure on Titan, the lartest moon of Saturn. It poses no threat to any towns. Wikipedia has a little information, and a link is provided.
What is the sensory patch in the utricle's lining?
The sensory patch in the utricle's lining is called the macula. It contains hair cells that detect linear acceleration and head position changes. It plays a key role in helping us maintain balance and spatial orientation.
Can macula lutea be seen with a ophthalmoscope?
Yes, the macula lutea can be visualized using an ophthalmoscope during an eye examination. This important area of the retina is located near the center of the posterior pole of the eye and is responsible for central clear vision.
Which of the choices below is the salt level-monitoring part of the nephron?
The macula densa cells in the distal convoluted tubule are the salt level-monitoring part of the nephron. They detect changes in sodium chloride content of the filtrate passing through the tubule and help regulate the release of renin from the juxtaglomerular cells.
When was Macula Transfer created?
Macula Transfer was created in 1976-06.
What is the receptor for equilibrium?
The Macula is the receptor for static equilibrium.
When was Sine Macula Choir created?
Sine Macula Choir was created in 1983.
What actors and actresses appeared in Macula - 2004?
The cast of Macula - 2004 includes: Carole Arcega
What is Latin for spot?
Macula.
Can you see the macula lutea through a ophthalmoscope?
Yes, the macula lutea can be visualized through an ophthalmoscope. It appears as a small yellowish spot near the center of the retina. The macula lutea is important for central vision and visual acuity.
Where does the light focus on the retina?
The Macula.
Does your macula make you see color?
No, it is the cones that are in your retina that allows you to see color. The macula just contains a higher denisty of photoreceptors.
What actors and actresses appeared in Macula - 2011?
The cast of Macula - 2011 includes: Robbie Cleiren as Geert Jo Verhenenman as Dokter
What is the plural for macula?
As macula derives from Latin, the traditional plural is maculae, but most of these formations are becoming replaced with an -s form, thus maculas.
What are the parts of the juxtaglomerular complex?
The juxtaglomerular complex consists of three main components: the juxtaglomerular (JG) cells, the macula densa, and the extraglomerular mesangial cells. The JG cells are specialized smooth muscle cells located in the walls of the afferent arterioles that secrete renin. The macula densa is a group of epithelial cells in the distal convoluted tubule that monitors sodium chloride concentration and regulates glomerular filtration rate. The extraglomerular mesangial cells provide structural support and facilitate communication between the JG cells and the macula densa.
What is the fovea?
The fovea is a pit in the macula of the eye
