  2. Capsule of lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsule_of_lens

    The capsule is a very thick basement membrane [2] and the thickness varies in different areas on the lens surface and with the age of the animal. It is composed of various types of fibers such as collagen IV , [ 3 ] laminin , etc. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] and these help it stay under constant tension. [ 7 ]

  3. Lens (vertebrate anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_(vertebrate_anatomy)

    The lens has three main parts: the lens capsule, the lens epithelium, and the lens fibers. The lens capsule is a relatively thick basement membrane forming the outermost layer of the lens. Inside the capsule, much thinner lens fibers form the bulk of the lens. The cells of the lens epithelium form a thin layer

  4. Animal Farm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Farm

    Animal Farm is a satirical allegorical novella, in the form of a beast fable, [1] by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945. [2] [3] It tells the story of a group of anthropomorphic farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy.

  5. Neurogenic placode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurogenic_placode

    The lens placode under the direction of the optic vesicle gives rise to the lens of the eye. The adenohypophyseal placode , which forms the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland . Other animals

  6. Accommodation (vertebrate eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_(vertebrate_eye)

    It is in this lens shape that the mechanically reproducible state of a steep radius of curvature in the center of the lens with slight flattening of the peripheral anterior lens, i.e. the shape, in cross section, of a catenary occurs. The anterior capsule and the zonule form a trampoline shape or hammock shaped surface that is totally ...

  7. Mesonephros - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesonephros

    This vesicle then elongates to form the mesonephric tubule, attaching to the mesonephric duct on one side. Meanwhile, an artery from the dorsal aorta begins extending towards the mesonephric tubule. When these two structures contact each other, they form the glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule surrounding it. [1]

  8. Optic vesicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_vesicle

    The eyes begin to develop as a pair of diverticula (pouches) from the lateral aspects of the forebrain.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.

  9. Lens placode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_placode

    The lens placode invaginates to later develop the lens or lens pit. The development of the lens placode is typically seen between 44 and 50 hours; invagination occurs shortly after at around the 50–55-hour mark. (Mouse) [1] Both the formation of the lens placode, and the invagination of this to the lens pit are both morphogenetic events. [2]
