Lens Embryogenesis
- Practitioners and researchers must rely on their own professional judgment and clinical experience when using the information provided in the book.
- The initial action that induces the surface ectoderm to thicken and differentiate into a lens precursor is the interaction with the optic vesicle.
- At the 3-week stage, the lens vesicle breaks off the stalk, connecting it to the surface ectoderm.
- The outer basement membrane of the lens vesicle hypertrophies to become the lens capsule.
- By the end of week 4 of gestation, the posterior cells of the lens vesicle rapidly elongate to form primary lens fibers.
- As the lens pit continues to invaginate, it forms a lens vesicle.
- The optic vesicles are the structures that induce the surface ectoderm to form a lens precursor.
- The shape of the adult lens is biconvex.
- During the 4-8 week stage of gestation, the lens fibers form the fetal nucleus.
- The role of the retina in lens embryogenesis is to induce the formation of the lens precursor.
- The structures that form Y-shaped sutures unique to the fetal growth stage at around week 8 are the lens fibers.
- The hyaloid artery supplies nutrients to the lens during fetal development.
- During accommodation, the lens becomes more spherical due to the contraction of the ciliary muscles.
- The nutritive structure supplied by the hyaloid artery during fetal development is the lens.
- At around age 20-30, the lens changes shape from a slightly rounded ovoid to a more flattened ovoid.
- The approximate diameter of the adult lens is 9-10 mm.
