41
The surface ectoderm of the head forms what?

42
The mesoderm between the neuroectoderm and surface ectoderm gives rise to what?
Fibrous and vascular coats of the eye
43
Mesenchymal cells are derived from what?
Mesoderm
44
Neural crest cells migrate into what?
The mesenchyme from the neural crest
45
Neural crest cells that migrate into the mesenchyme from the neural crest differentiate into what?
The choroid, Sclera, and corneal endothlium
46
The first indication of the eye is what?
Optic groove
47
Optic groove forms when?
Beginning of the 4th week
48
The groove deepens to form what?
A hollow optic vesicle that projects from the forebrain
49
The optic vesicles contact what?
The surface ectoderm
50
The optic vesicles induces development of what?
Lens placode - the primordial lens
51
Invaginates
Enclose, sheathe / to fold in so that an outer becomes an inner surface
52
The lens placode invaginates to form what?
The lens pit and lens vesicles
53
The optic vesicle invaginates to form what?
An optic cup
54
The retina forms from what?
The 2 layers of the optic cup
55
What is Coloboma?
A defect in the inferior sector of the iris or a notch in the pupillary margin

A detached retina may follow what?
