The focus is on a 3-millimeter-wide yellow spot, called the macula lutea, toward the back and center of the eye. |
Visual results are best if the retinal detachment is repaired before the macula detaches. |
Fundal examination showed a large choroidal rupture of the left macula. |
The macula densa and JG cells are jointly called the juxtaglomerular apparatus. |
With the head erect, the macula in each utricle is oriented horizontally, and in the saccule vertically. |
The macula serves to facilitate central vision and allows for high-resolution visual acuity. |
