Uberon definition : Multi-tissue structure that is comprised of neural and non-neural epithelial layers
which will form the retina and retinal pigmented epithelium of the mature eye[ZFA].
double walled structured formed by expansion and invagination of the distal end of
the optic vesicle that develops into the pigmented and sensory layers of the retina
while the mouth of the optic cup eventually forms the pupil of the eye[MP].;
Uberon related term : ocular cup; eye cup; ophtalmic cup; eyecup;
Uberon Homology note : (...) an essentially similar sequence of events occurs during the embryonic development
of the vertebrate eye. The eye initially develops as a single median evagination of
the diencephalon that soon bifurcates to form the paired optic vesicles. As each optic
vesicle grows towards the body surface, its proximal part narrows as the optic stalk,
and its distal part invaginates to form a two-layered optic cup.[well established][VHOG];
