Lecture 9 Flashcards
development of eye- the optic vesicle grows out of the _______ while the lens develops from the
diencephalon, epidermis
The inner layer of the optic cup becomes the
retina
The outer layer of the optic cup becomes the
pigmented epithelium
The diencephalon gets a very prominent out-pocketing on each side in early development. These develop into
optic vesicles to form eyes
The optic vesicles grow to the ectoderm, then invaginate to form the
optic cup
The surface ectoderm above the optic cup invaginates and pinches off to lie at the entrance to the cup. This becomes
the lens.
outer surface of optic cup forms the
pigmented retina
inner surface of optic cup forms
photo receptors, neurons, and epithelial iris
The dorsal lip of blastopore
Spemann Organizer
The Spemann Organizer inhibits cells from becoming
epidermis, therefore the default structure is neural tissue.
