| As blood passes by the macula through retinal blood vessels, the pigments pass through the macula's outer layer to rest in high concentrations inside its center. |
| The macula serves to facilitate central vision and allows for high-resolution visual acuity. |
| With the head erect, the macula in each utricle is oriented horizontally, and in the saccule vertically. |
| Visual results are best if the retinal detachment is repaired before the macula detaches. |
| The central retina, or macula, and the centermost macula, or fovea, exhibit structural and cellular specializations for fine central acuity. |
| The macula densa and JG cells are jointly called the juxtaglomerular apparatus. |
