foveae
Small anatomical hollows
Foveae is the plural of fovea, a small pit or depression in a body surface.
In anatomy, it most often refers to the fovea centralis, the tiny spot at the center of the retina where visual acuity is sharpest: The foveae of both eyes showed signs of macular degeneration.
The term appears in medical and scientific contexts.
