Eye Development
Introduction to the eye
We could give a description of the adult anatomy of the eye in this section - happy to take this as we've just covered this section in anatomy! - z3416557 Perfect! This is your section then! :-)
Timeline of Eye Development
Development and function of components in the eye
The eyes are derived from four sources.
- The neuroectoderm of the forebrain will differentiate into the retina, the posterior layers of the iris and the optic nerve.
- The surface ectoderm will form the lens of the eye and the corneal epithelium.
- The mesoderm between the neuroectoderm and the surface ectoderm will form the fibrous and vascular coats of the eye
- The neural crest cells will migrate into the mesenchyme and differentiate into the choroid, sclera, and corneal endothelium.
