  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. 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.

  6. Efference copy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efference_copy

    In physiology, an efference copy or efferent copy is an internal copy of an outflowing (), movement-producing signal generated by an organism's motor system. [1] It can be collated with the (reafferent) sensory input that results from the agent's movement, enabling a comparison of actual movement with desired movement, and a shielding of perception from particular self-induced effects on the ...

  7. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    The system detects, transduces and interprets information concerning light within the visible range to construct an image and build a mental model of the surrounding environment. The visual system is associated with the eye and functionally divided into the optical system (including cornea and lens ) and the neural system (including the retina ...

    A major rockslide prompted two highways to be shut down in Colorado over the weekend and witnesses captured the frightening moment on video. Highways 96 and 165 from Wetmore to Westcliffe in ...

  9. 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 ...
