Q

What causes the formation of the lens placodes and what are the steps of the eye folding?

A

He diencephalon causes the formation of the lens placode

Q

When does the eye begin to form?

A

Before the rostal neural tube closes

A little neural tube begins to evaginate and push through the wall

Q

What are hyaloid vessels and where do hey come from?

Q

What normally happens to the optic fissure?

A

The fissure closes the hyaloid vessels

At the same time, the folded edge of the optic cup folds inward and covers the lens. These edges will be the edges of the pupil

Q

What can happen to the hyaloid artery?

A

Normally is disappears by apoptosis but sometimes that doesn’t happen and you can see it behind the lens

Endolymphatic duct/sac

34
Q

What does the ventral part of the otic vesicle give rise to?

A

Saccule
Cochlear duct
Ductus reuniens

35
Q

What are the two parts of the otic placode?

A

Dorsal (utricular)

Ventral (saccular)

36
Q
