  2. Optic vesicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_vesicle

    These diverticula make their appearance before the closure of the anterior end of the neural tube; [1] [2] after the closure of the tube around the 4th week of development, they are known as the optic vesicles. Previous studies of optic vesicles suggest that the surrounding extraocular tissues – the surface ectoderm and extraocular mesenchyme ...

  3. Optic stalk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_stalk

    The optic vesicles project toward the sides of the head, and the peripheral part of each expands to form a hollow bulb, while the proximal part remains narrow and constitutes the optic stalk. [1] [2] Closure of the choroidal fissure in the optic stalk occurs during the seventh week of development. The former optic stalk is then called the optic ...

  4. Eye development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_development

    The optic vesicles then develop into the optic cup with the inner layer forming the retina and the outer portion forming the retinal pigment epithelium. The middle portion of the optic cup develops into the ciliary body and iris. [7] During the invagination of the optic cup, the ectoderm begins to thicken and form the lens placode, which ...

  5. Neural groove - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_groove

    The cephalic end of the neural groove exhibits several dilatations, which, when the tube is closed, assume the form of three vesicles; these constitute the three primary cerebral vesicles and correspond respectively to the future fore-brain (prosencephalon), midbrain (mesencephalon), and hind-brain (rhombencephalon).

  6. Retinal precursor cells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinal_precursor_cells

    The retina is generated from the precursor cells within the inner layer of the optic cup, as opposed to the retinal pigment epithelium that originate from the outer layer of the optic cup. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] In general, the developing retina is organized so that the least-committed precursor cells are located in the periphery of the retina, while the ...

  7. Neural tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_tube

    Improper closure of the neuropores can result in neural tube defects such as anencephaly or spina bifida. The dorsal part of the neural tube contains the alar plate, which is associated primarily with sensation. The ventral part of the neural tube contains the basal plate, which is primarily associated with motor (i.e., muscle) control.

    A video captured a tornado ripping through a shopping center parking lot in California over the weekend. The Santa Cruz Sentinel reported that the tornado in Scotts Valley on Saturday caused ...

  9. Optic cup (embryology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_cup_(embryology)

    During embryonic development of the eye, the outer wall of the bulb of the optic vesicles becomes thickened and invaginated, and the bulb is thus converted into a cup, the optic cup (or ophthalmic cup), consisting of two strata of cells.
