41
Q

Development of the optic vesicles starts from a progressively deepening groove in the neural plate called the optic sulcus.

A

Q

The optc vesicles come into contact with the epithelum and induce the epidermis which will thicken to form the ——

A

lens placode

43
Q

migrates in during the forma;on of the op;c cup and is critical for the induction of the retinal pigment epithelium and the optic nerve.

A

Periocular mesenchyme

44
Q
