Apex extends anteriorly or posteriorly

Anterior suture - UPRIGHT Y SHAPE

Posterior lens suture INVERTED Y SHAPE

17
Q

A

Day 33
(Week 4)
When the lens vesicle detaches

18
Q

what is the corneal epithelium and endothelium formed form?

A

Epithelium - surface ectoderm

Endothelium - neural crest mesenchyme

stroma - neural crest cell differntiaitng into keratocytes which secrete type 1 collagen

19

A

Month 3

Bowman’s at month 5

20

Starts as blood vessel derived from mesoderm

At end of month 3

Drainage canal at month 5 when aqueous humour production starts

21

What are sphincter and dilator muscles derived from

A

Ectoderm

Marginal sinus of von Szily reaches future pupil in month 4 and differentiates into muscles - myofibrils laid in month 5

22

Orbicularlis at week 12
Lid divides at 20 weeks

28
Q

How is the lacrimal gland split

A

Month 5
LPS bisects lacrimal galnd into oribtal and palpebral sections

29

When does tear production being?

A

20 days to 3 months post partum
Full maturation of gland at 3 years

30
Q

When doe EOM form from what?

A

Week 5 mesoderms differntiates into the EOMs

LPS develops from the dorsomedial SR at week 7

32
Q

What is the membrane of Hasner

A

Nasolacrimal duct outlet - remains imperofrate within 70% of newborns but normally regresses within the first month post partum
