Question

What layer of the retina contains photoreceptors?

Answer 1

Answer: The rod and cone layer (bacillary layer) contains the inner and outer segments of the rod and cone photo receptors cells. The pigment epithelium is the most external layer of the retina.

Explanation: Neural (inner) layer - consists of photoreceptors, the light detecting cells of the retina. It is located posteriorly and laterally in the eye.

Blind spot, small portion of the visual field of each eye that corresponds to the position of the optic disk (also known as the optic nerve head) within the retina. There are no photoreceptors (i.e., rods or cones) in the optic disk, and, therefore, there is no image detection in this area

Answer 2

The rod and cone layer (bacillary layer) contains the inner and outer segments of the rod and cone photoreceptors cells. The pigment epithelium is the most external layer of the retina.
