  • Satellite cells

Q5. What does the ora serrata mark?

  • The edge of the cornea
  • The center of the optic disc
  • The posterior border of the iris
  • The anterior limit of the photosensitive retina

Q6. Which photoreceptor type is densely concentrated in the fovea centralis?

  • Nerve fiber layer

Q10. Which retinal layer contains ganglion-cell axons traveling toward the optic disc?

  • Outer plexiform layer
  • Nerve fiber layer
  • Outer nuclear layer
  • Retinal pigment epithelium
