Study Notes

Iris Development

The iris sphincter muscle originates from the neural crest.
The dilatator muscle of the iris begins to develop myofibrils at E 13.5-14.5.
The anterior border layer of the iris is of neural crest origin.

Ciliary Body Development

The stroma and ciliary muscle of the ciliary body are of neural crest origin.
The outer layer of the optic cup becomes the outer pigmented epithelium of the ciliary body during the 4th month of development.

Eye Development

The trabecular meshwork becomes level with the anterior border of the future trabecular meshwork during postnatal eye development in mice.
The chamber angle, trabecular meshwork, and Schlemm's canal differentiate from the mesenchyme during eye development.
Aqueous humor production begins during the 3rd month of gestation.

Ocular Structure Development

The lens vesicle invaginates during eye development.
The scleral vessels next to the chamber angle play a role in eye development by allowing the suprachoroidal space to carry the long posterior ciliary arteries and nerves.
The choriocapillaris forms from the outer layer of the optic cup during anterior segment development.

Retina Development

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) forms from the outer layer of the optic cup.
The layer between the ganglion cell layer and the bipolar cell layer is the inner nuclear layer.
The photoreceptor layer contains nuclei of rods and cones.
The outermost layer of Bruch's membrane is composed of elastic fibers.

Retina Function

Bruch's membrane allows the RPE to adhere to the choroid.
The outer plexiform layer is responsible for initial processing of visual signals from photoreceptors.
The ganglion cell layer contains nuclei of ganglion cells, which are responsible for conducting action potentials to the brain.

Choroid Development

The choroid contains collagen bands, fibroblasts, and melanocytes in the stroma.
The choroid forms capillary beds known as choriocapillaris in the choroidal vessels.
Pericytes in the choriocapillaris play a role in regulating blood flow.
The choroid lamina fuscha (suprachoroid lamina) maintains tissue integrity by allowing the suprachoroidal space to carry the long posterior ciliary arteries and nerves.

Choriocapillaris Function

Choriocapillaris capillaries are fenestrated, which allows for increased permeability.
Choroidal blood flow increases in response to neural stimulation.
The main function of the choroid is to provide oxygen and nutrients to the outer retina.

Early Eye Development

Mesenchymal cells (ME) play a role in eye development by forming the stroma and ciliary muscle of the ciliary body.
The hyaloid artery (HA) enters the optic cup during eye development.
Mesenchymal cells differentiate into the sclera and choroid at E 13.5-14.5.
The neural retina (Re) forms from the inner layer of the optic cup.
The retinal pigmented epithelium (PE) plays a role in eye development by allowing the RPE to adhere to the choroid.
Primary lens fibers contribute to eye development by forming the lens vesicle.
