Macula: The macula is the small, sensitive area of the retina that gives central. vision. It is located in the center of the retina. Optic nerve: The optic nerve is the largest sensory nerve of the eye. It. carries impulses for sight from the retina to the brain. Pupil: The pupil is the opening at the center of the iris.

Rods and cones perform at different wavelengths and sensitivities allowing detailed perception of light and color. Continue Reading.
