Answer to Question 1

The parvocellular neurons, with small cell bodies and small receptive fields, are mostly in or near the fovea. (Parvocellular means small celled, from the Latin root parv, meaning small..) The magnocellular neurons, with larger cell bodies and receptive fields, are distributed evenly
throughout the retina. (Magnocellular means large celled, from the Latin root magn, meaning large.. The same root appears in magnify.)
