Abstract

Authors propose one study of retinal cells population in different stages of ontogenesis and one study of the pigmentogenesis process at the level of uveal tract and external retinal stratum. The study was achieved with embryonic and fetal technique of paraffin inclusion. Concomitantly with loading with pigment of the external retinal stratum and so pigmentary uveal tract is present. Dynamics of the retinol cells population varies with stages and chronological age, the number of pigmented uveal cells increasing proportionally but at different parameters with the pigmented retinal stratum one simultaneous with age under influence specially of humoral factors.
