  2. 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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  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. Human embryonic development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_embryonic_development

    The optical vesicle (which eventually becomes the optic nerve, retina and iris) forms at the basal plate of the prosencephalon. The alar plate of the prosencephalon expands to form the cerebral hemispheres (the telencephalon) whilst its basal plate becomes the diencephalon. Finally, the optic vesicle grows to form an optic outgrowth.

  6. Retinal precursor cells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinal_precursor_cells

    Human eye cross-sectional view grayscale. Retinal precursor cells are biological cells that differentiate into the various cell types of the retina during development. In the vertebrate, these retinal cells differentiate into seven cell types, including retinal ganglion cells, amacrine cells, bipolar cells, horizontal cells, rod photoreceptors, cone photoreceptors, and Müller glia cells. [1]

  7. PAX6 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAX6

    PAX6 is essential is the formation of the retina, lens and cornea due to its role in early cell determination when forming precursors of these structures such as the optic vesicle and overlying surface ectoderm. [20]

    The officer alleged that the couple had been requesting monetary donations through a GoFundMe page and word of mouth, to fund their 6-year-old son's medical treatment. DeCandia told reporters it's ...

  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.
