Fig. 4. Horizontal Section through Head of Foetal Pig, 3 mm long

Magnified about 1,200 times.

This invaginated portion forms the secondary optic vesicle and it is from this that the nine innermost layers of the retina are eventually formed, while the primary optic vesicle only forms the outer or pigment layer. As the secondary optic vesicle is passing into the primary optic vesicle there appears in front of the secondary optic vesicle a depression on the surface at the point of activity of the epithelial cells. (See A, Fig. 4, and A, Fig. 5.) This depression becomes deeper and deeper and the mouth is finally closed by the rapid formation of cells around the depression, as shown at B and C, Figs. 4 and 5.
