OcAnat_Test3 Flashcards
Ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm come from?
Epiblast
What germ tissues do the eye parts develop from?
Ectoderm and Mesoderm
What happens in Week 4(day 22-28)
Optic sulcus
Optic vesicle, mesenchymal sheath begins
Mesenchymal sheath completes
Retinal disk, RPE, lens placode
Optic stalk, hyaloid vessels, primordia of EOM
What is induction
the influence that one developing structure has on another
What forms the retinal pigment epithelium?
Cells of the superotemporal wall of the optic vesicle.
The walls of the optic vesicle are continuous with what structure?
Neuroectoderm of the future brain
What is mesenchyme derived from?
Mesoderm (middle germ layer) Neural crest (originate from neuroectoderm) This is a descriptive term and does not imply an origin from any particular embryonic germ layer.
What is the retinal disk?
Distal face of the optic vesicle.
Disk-shaped thickening of the neural ectoderm.
Will become the neural retina.
What does lens placode formation coincide with?
Constriction of the optic vesicle which forms the optic stalk
What two things are related to each other at the end of week 4?
Vascularization and pigmentation
What days does week 5 consist of?
Days 29-35
What structures appear in week 5?
Invagination of retinal disk and lens placode
Optic cup forms, blood vessels enter the choroidal fissure
Lens vesicle pinched, corneal epithelium, primary vitreous, hyaloid vasculary
The optic vesicle turns into what structure?
The optic cup.
day 29-32; 5th week.
How do the blood vessels gain access to the optic cup?
Through the choroidal fissure.
How does the lens vesicle come about?
Through the pinching off of the lens placode from the surface ectoderm
During week 5, what structures does the hyaloid artery supply?
Lens vesicle
Developing retina
Is the choroidal fissure ventral or dorsal to the optic stalk?
It is on the ventral surface.
What is the purpose of the vasa hyaloidea propria
Supplying the vitreous chamber. Tiny branches of the hyaloid artery.
What blood network supplys the lens?
tunica vasculosa lentis.
Originates from the hyaloid artery.
What is so special about the lens when it is super grown?
It doesn’t need a blood supply.
Hyaloid artery degenerates
Hyaloid canal remains.
What does the proximal portion of the central retinal artery become?
Central retinal artery, which supplies the retina.
