Q96 Write short notes on the development of the retina
- The optic vesicle is fully formed by day 25 of gestation and after it invaginates the thickened inner invaginated layer, known as the retinal disc, is destined to differentiate into the neural retina whereas the outermost layer of the optic cup is destined to become the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). There is a sharp transition between these two layers at the optic cup margin.
- The outer layer, or future RPE, consists of pseudostratified columnar cells. Pigment granules are present from as early as the third week of gestation. These cells continue to divide late into fetal life. The basal lamina of the RPE is incorporated into Bruch’s membrane.
- The primitive neural retina is formed from the inner layer of the optic cup and consists of an outer nuclear zone and an inner marginal (or acellular) zone. The outer nuclear zone is homogeneous to the proliferative neuroepithelium of the neural tube.
- Mitotic activity in the primitive neural retina is greatest in the outer part of the outer nuclear zone and is completed by 15 weeks. Differentiation begins as mitosis ends. Differentiation is initiated in the marginal zone, commencing at the posterior pole and progressing in a centrifugal manner.
- From about 7 weeks’ gestation newly formed cells migrate vitread from the nuclear zone into the marginal zone to form the inner neuroblastic layer. From this time the nuclear zone becomes known as the outer neuroblastic layer.
- The inner neuroblastic layer goes on to produce ganglion and amacrine cells whereas the outer neuroblastic layer gives rise to horizontal and bipolar elements.
- Photoreceptors are thought to be derived from cilia found in the outer nuclear zone.
