17. Embryology (Eye & Ear): Seeing and Hearing the World

Vision and hearing arise from intricate interactions between surface ectoderm, neuroectoderm, and mesenchyme. In this episode, we explore how the eye and ear form through reciprocal induction and precise spatial relationships.Langman explains optic cup formation and otic vesicle development, IB Singh provides structured recall of stages, and Moore links development to congenital blindness, deafness, and balance disorders. The focus remains on process rather than parts.This episode reinforces a broader embryological lesson: sensory systems are built through dialogue between tissues, not isolated construction.
