Q

The entirety of the retina, comes from neural ectoderm while only some parts of the iris and ciliary body come from neural ectoderm. This is because the iris and the ciliary come off the tips of the Optic cup. Which of their structures are from neuroectoderm?

A

Iris: Epithelium and Smooth muscle (Sphincter pupillae and dilator pupillae)

Ciliary Body: Epithlium

The Optic Fissure fails to completely close, and this leaves a gap in the eye structures
