Questions and Answers

What is the function of the macula in the retina?

  • It is responsible for the production of pigmented simple cuboidal epithelium
  • It covers the inner surface of the eyeball posterior to the ciliary body
  • It contains 120 million rods and 6 or 7 million cones
  • It is a region where light is most focused when the eye is looking directly at an object (correct)

    • What is the composition of the outer pigmented layer of the retina?

  • Pigmented simple cuboidal epithelium (correct)
  • Fovea centralis
  • Rods and cones
  • Neural cells

    • What can be observed when the posterior region of the retina is examined with an ophthalmoscope?

    Study Notes

    Retina Structure and Function

    • The macula, located in the posterior region of the retina, is responsible for central vision and fine detail.

    Outer Pigmented Layer

    • The outer pigmented layer of the retina is composed of a single layer of cuboidal epithelial cells.

    Observations with Ophthalmoscope

    • When the posterior region of the retina is examined with an ophthalmoscope, the macula and retinal blood vessels can be observed.

    Photoreceptor Cells

    • The neural layer of the retina contains numerous photo receptor cells, including rods and cones.

    Focal Point of Light

    • The macula, specifically the fovea centralis, is the region of the retina where light is most focused when the eye is looking directly at an object.

    Macula Diameter

    • The approximate diameter of the macula is 5 mm.

    Outer Pigmented Layer Epithelium

    • The outer pigmented layer of the retina is formed by simple cuboidal epithelium.

    Rods in Neural Layer

    • The neural layer of the retina contains approximately 120 million rods.

    Fovea Centralis Location

    • The fovea centralis is located in the center of the macula.

    Inner Neural Layer Function

    • The main function of the inner neural layer of the retina is to transmit visual signals to the brain.
