D008266	Macula Lutea	An oval area in the retina, 3 to 5 mm in diameter, usually located temporal to the posterior pole of the eye and slightly below the level of the optic disk.

It is devoid of retinal blood vessels, except in its periphery, and receives nourishment from the choriocapillaris of the choroid.
