Development Of Special Senses Flashcards
Outer layer of optic cup
Pigment epithelium
Cornea is naked ( no eyelids, except for primordium)
42 days pc
Eyelids have grown over the cornea
77 days pc
Eyelids separate to form the
Palpebral fissure
Rapid optic nerve vascularization
12-14 wks pc
Dura matter first appears around optic nerve
Wk 15
Immunoreactivity for glial fibrillary acidic protein first appears in optic nerve
Wk 24?
First myelinated fibers seen in intracranial part of optic nerve. Immunoreactivityor myelin basic protein appears in optic nerve
Wk 31-32
First myelinated fibers seen in retrobulbar optic nerve
Wk 40
Myelination of optic nerve proceeds to from chiasm to bulb
Week 32-40 and beyond
The eyes are fused in the midline, because loss of midline structures has prevented the eye fields from separating
Synophthalmia
postural muscles in the muscular compartment of the neck
Coloboma
Lens opacification
May occur with developmental rubella infection
Congenital cataract
May occur in developmental rubella or cytomegalovirus infection or be due to maternal alcohol infection
Microphthalmia (small eye)
Origin of the external auditory meatus
1st pharyngeal cleft
Origin of the auricle
Ectoderm and mesenchyme of 1st and 2nd arches
External ear
External auditory meatus
Auricle
Middle ear
Tympanic cavity and eustachian tube
Malleus and incus
Stapes
Origin of the tympanic cavity and eustachian tube
1st pharyngeal pouch
