Fig. 5. Drawings of sections showing the form of the optic nerve and the progressive spread of nerve fibers from retina to brain

Few fibers have reached the optic nerve in embryos of horizon xix. Some fibers have grown through the whole tract and are arriving at the brain in embryos of group xx. In the older age groups many of the primitive cells of the optic tract are seen in longitudinal rows between bundles of nerve fibers. x100.
