test 2 Lecture 17 sense organs Flashcards
___ form sensory neurons
cranial placodes
what are the three cranial placodes in order from top to bottom
placode formation starts with thickening of the ___ then __
ectoderm
invagination
what is different between the lens vesicle and the otic vesicle and olfactory vesicle
the lens vesicle does not produce sensory neurons
The olfactory placode gives rise to the sensory neurons involved in smell, and also to some migratory neurons that will travel into the brain & secrete ___ releasing hormone.
gonadotropin
The otic placode gives rise to the sensory epithelium of the ear and to neurons that help form the ___.
cochlear-vestibular ganglion
Trigeminal placodes
sensory neurons that innervate the face and jaw
ophthalmic and maxillomandibular
epibranchial placodes
Nodose: forms sensory neurons innervating heart, lungs, gut
Petrosal & geniculate placodes: forms neurons innervating taste buds
eye development involves ectoderm, ___, and mesenchyme
neural crest cells
eye development starts with ___
outpocketing of the wall of the diencephalon
___: inducer tissue & the responding tissue
Inductive interactions
head mesenchyme produce ___ which will stimulate the formation of ___ in the eye
TGF-beta
retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE)
In the eye, ___ produced by the presumptive lens placode will inhibit the production of RPE and form ___
FGF
neural retina (NR)
Factors secreted by the presumptive lens placode (FGFs) promote ___
neural retina (NR).
Factors produced by the head mesenchyme surrounding the optic vesicle (TGFbeta) directs ___ formation.
retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE)
The lens placode invaginates to become a ____ , which forms a complete circle that pinches off from the surface ectoderm to become the ___
lens pit
lens vesicle.
At the same time the lens vesicle is forming, the optic vesicle also invaginates to form a double-layered structure called the ___. So at this point we see a goblet-shaped optic cup with the lens vesicle floating in its open end.
optic cup
Cells in the ___ absorb excess light and transport oxygen and nutrients to photoreceptors.
RPE (melanocytes)
retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE)
The portion of each optic vesicle that interacts with the surface ectoderm induces an area of the ectoderm to form a thickening, the ___(a precursor of the lens).
lens placode
Blood vessels gain access to the eye through the ___
optic stalk.
2 layers of the optic cup
thick inner layer:
neural retina (NR)
thin outer layer:
retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE)
___ a sensory layer that receives visual images, converts into signals transmitted through optic nerve
neural retina (NR),
optic stalk becomes the ___
optic nerve
lens specification depends on optic ___
vesicle
Ablation of the optic vesicle prevents the formation of the lens.
lens vesicle will close, move away from the ___, and form __ inside the optic cup
ectoderm
lens
Bottom of optic cup forms epithelium of ___ and ciliary body
iris
inner layer (NR): forms ___ and ___
rods & cones
___ & ciliary body develop from neural crest cells migrating into this area
Stroma of iris
___ in stroma of the iris determines eye color
Melanin
explain how lens is formed
cell differentiation within the lens
anterior cuboidal epithelial cells
dividing epithelial cells
elongation
stops dividing and elongates more and become mature posterior fiber cells with crystallin
crystallin
90% of total lens protein are crystallins
10% insoluble albuminoids
3 types of crystallin
Alpha-crystallin:
•Largest crystallin• 31% total lens proteins
Beta-crystallin:
•Most abundant•55% heterogenous
Gamma-crystallin:
Smallest and least abundant (2%)

example of reciprocal inductive interactions during eye development
optic vesicle induces the formation of lens placode which then induces formation of optic cup
___ expressed at late gastrula stage in lens ectoderm
Otx2
