| Description |
The optic nerve develops in the substance of the optic stalk (1,2,207,208). This stalk, which becomes apparent at the fourth week of gestation, has a wide circular lumen that is continuous with the cavity of the forebrain at one end and the optic vesicle at the other. Its walls are composed of a single layer of undifferentiated epithelial cells. The optic stalk and vesicle both invaginate; in the stalk this produces a shallow depression ventrally. The lumen of the stalk shrinks as the stalk lengthens. |
