The sections were selected to show the organization and relations of parts of the eye in the various age groups. The lens remains nearly spherical throughout this period and occupies a relatively large part of the eye. In front of the lens the pupillary membrane develops and the anterior chamber emerges. The hyaloid plexus partly fills the primitive vitreous humor of the eye and forms a network on the posterior surface of the lens. X60.

Pages where the terms "Historic" (textbooks, papers, people, recommendations) appear on this site, and sections within pages where this disclaimer appears, indicate that the content and scientific understanding are specific to the time of publication. This means that while some scientific descriptions are still accurate, the terminology and interpretation of the developmental mechanisms reflect the understanding at the time of original publication and those of the preceding periods, these terms, interpretations and recommendations may not reflect our current scientific understanding.     (More?
