Thereafter, the otic cup closes off, creating the otic vesicle. Once formed, the otic vesicle will reside next to the neural tube medially, and on the lateral side will be paraxial mesoderm. Neural crest cells will migrate rostral and caudal to the placode. The general sequence in formation of the otic vesicle is relatively conserved across ...
The first part of the ear to develop is the inner ear, [19] which begins to form from the ectoderm around the embryo's 22nd day, [18] derived from two thickenings called otic placodes on either side of the head. Each otic placode recedes below the ectoderm, forms an otic pit and then an otic vesicle. [20]
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 cochlear duct develops from the ventral otic vesicle (otocyst). [3] It grows slightly flattened between the middle and outside of the body. [3] This development may be regulated by the genes EYA1, SIX1, GATA3, and TBX1. [3] The organ of Corti develops inside the cochlear duct. [4]

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.
The optic vesicle will then induce the ectoderm that thickens (lens placode) and further invaginates to a point that detaches from the ectoderm and forms a neurogenic placode by itself. The lens placode is affected by the chordamesoderm making it invaginate and forms the optic cup composed by an inner layer of the neural retina and outer layer ...
