Classification
Nouns denoting body parts.
Examples
- The high concentration of cone cells in the fovea allows for sharper central vision and finer detail.
- Research has shown that the fovea is responsible for our most precise and detailed visual perception.
- When focusing on an object, the eye moves to position the object's image directly on the fovea for optimal clarity.
- The central part of the visual field is directly projected onto the fovea, resulting in the sharpest possible vision.
- Damage to the fovea can significantly impair a person's visual acuity and ability to see fine details.
