Eye/Ear Dev Flashcards
What 4 structures are the eyes developed from?
- Neuroectoderm of the Forebrain
- Surface Ectoderm of the head
- Mesoderm (between above 2 layers)
- Neural Crest cells
When do the eyes begin to develop?
22 days GA when the Optic Grooves appear.
The Neuroectoderm of the Forebrain produces:
Retina
Posterior layers of Iris
Optic Nerve
The Surface Ectoderm of head produces:
Lens
Corneal Epithelium
The Mesoderm between Neuroectoderm and Surface ectoderm produces:
Fibrous & vascular coats of the eye
Neural Crest Cells (migrate to mesoderm) and Differentiate into:
Choroid
Sclera
Coroneal Endothelium
The eyes first appear at 22 Days in the _________ ______.
Neural Folds
The neural folds fuse forming________
Forebrain
The Optic grooves—>hollow diverticula–>______ _______.
Optic Vesicle
The Optic Vesicle contacts with?
Surface ectoderm
The cavities of optic vesicles are continuous with the ______ ___ ____ __________.
Cavity of the Forebrain
What structure that develops the eye will develop into the lens?
Surface Ectoderm of the head
The Diencephalon is the “inner brain” and contains the (3 things)
- Thalamus
- Hypothalamus
- Pineal Gland
The Diencephalon is a “relay” system and it does what?
What is it involved in?
Accepts sensory input and relays it to other parts of the body.
Breathing
Swallowing
Emotion
The Optic Vesicle grows from the______ ___
Distal end
The ____ _____ forms from a connection of the Optic vesicle to the Forebrain.
Optic Stalk—-at the same time the surface endoderm adjacent to the vesicle thickens forming the Lens Placodes (lens)
The Lens Placodes invaginates deep into surface ectoderm forming a _____ for the lens.
Pit
The Lens pits:
Fuse together, contain lens vesicles, and lose connection with surface ectoderm
The Optic vesicles invaginate to form double-walled _______ _____.
Optic cups
The Optic cups are connected to the developing brain by the _______ ______.
Optic stalk
The Optic cup becomes the:
Retina
The Optic stalk becomes the:
Optic Nerve
The Lens and part of Cornea develop from:
Ectoderm and Mesoderm
The rim of the Optic cup is large at first, but it folds in around the _____
Lens
After the Optic cup folds in around the lens, it loses connection with _______ _________ and enters cavity of optic cup.
Surface Ectoderm
