Eye Development Flashcards
What structures of the eye are derivatives of neural ectoderm? (5ish)
Retina (all)
Iris smooth muscle
Iris pigmented epithelium
Ciliary body epithelium
In this flashcard deck we specified the structures that come from the surface ectoderm (2) and neural ectoderm. Is it true that everything else is from the mesenchyme?
Yes
When we talk about the mesenchyme we are talking about what two populations?
Mesoderm and Neural Crest cells
The origin of the eye comes off the developing forebrain which is called?
A. Diencephalon
B. Procencephalon
C. Telencephalon
D. Please Stop
Procencephalon
Which of the following structures is only seen from the inside of the procencephalon as an invagination within the neuroectoderm?
A. Optic Vesicle
B. Optic Sulcus
C. Optic Stalk
D. Optic Fissue
Optic Sulcus
During the 5th week, the optic vesicle forms on the surface ectoderm portion of the optic sulcus (the invagination within the procencephalon), grows out and eventually becomes which of the following?
A. Optic Fissure
B. Optic Sulcus
C. Optic Stalk
D. Optic Cup
Optic Cup
What is the name of the structure that initially connects the optic cup to the brain?
A. Optic Fissure
B. Optic Stalk
C. Optic Sulcus
D. It goes by many names
Optic Stalk
The development of the optic cup begins at which of the following week?
A. week 4
B. week 5
C. week 6
D. week 7
Week 4
Below in figure D is the depiction of the invaginated optic cup. Where is the outer and inner layer of the optic cup in figure D.?
The outer layer is attached to the optic stalk
What is the optic stalk made of?
A. Surface ectoderm
B. Mesenchyme
C. Neural Ectoderm
Neural Ectoderm
As the optic cup invaginates and begins to form its inner and outer layers, we begin to form which of the following structures that extends along the optic stalk?
A. Optic sulcus
B. Optic fisher
C. Optic fissure
D. Optic ganglion
E. Retina
Optic fissure
What vessels run within the the optic fissure?
A. Hyaloid A. and N.
B. Hyaline cartilage
C. Central A.
D. Hyaloid A and V
Hyaloid A and V
In the Retina, the neural retina is the _______ layer, while the pigmented retina is the ______ layer
In the Retina, the neural retina is the INNER layer, while the pigmented retina is the OUTER layer
The entirety of the retina, comes from neural ectoderm while only some parts of the iris and ciliary body come from neural ectoderm. This is because the iris and the ciliary come off the tips of the Optic cup. Which of their structures are from neuroectoderm?
Iris: Epithelium and Smooth muscle (Sphincter pupillae and dilator pupillae)
Ciliary Body: Epithlium
What are the ONLY 2 MUSCLES in the entire human body that come from neural ectoderm?
Sphincter Pupillae and Dilator Pupillae of the iris
