Target type: biologicalprocess
The process occurring during the embryonic phase whose specific outcome is the progression of the eye over time, from its formation to the mature structure. [GOC:mah, GOC:mtg_sensu]
Embryonic camera-type eye development is a complex and fascinating process that results in the formation of the intricate structure of the eye. This process begins with the induction of the optic vesicle from the neural tube, a structure that will eventually give rise to the brain. The optic vesicle then invaginates to form the optic cup, which is composed of two layers: the outer retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and the inner neural retina. The RPE is responsible for absorbing light and providing nutrients to the neural retina. The neural retina will eventually give rise to the light-sensing cells, called photoreceptors, as well as the other cell types that make up the retina. The optic cup also induces the formation of the lens from the surface ectoderm. The lens is a transparent structure that focuses light onto the retina. As the eye continues to develop, the optic stalk connects the optic cup to the brain. The optic stalk will eventually become the optic nerve, which carries signals from the eye to the brain. During this process, the developing eye undergoes a series of intricate morphogenetic movements, guided by precisely regulated gene expression. These movements involve the folding and invagination of tissues, as well as the migration and differentiation of specific cell types. These movements ensure that the eye forms the correct shape and arrangement of its various components. The development of the retina is particularly complex. Different cell types, including photoreceptors, bipolar cells, and ganglion cells, are generated in a precise temporal and spatial order. Photoreceptors are responsible for detecting light and converting it into electrical signals. Bipolar cells connect photoreceptors to ganglion cells, which transmit signals to the brain via the optic nerve. The development of the eye is a highly regulated process that is influenced by numerous signaling pathways and transcription factors. These factors control cell fate, proliferation, migration, and differentiation, ensuring the proper development of a functional eye.'
