The development of the human body; a manual of human embryology . n length until at the equator of the lensthey become continuous with and pass into the anteriorepithelium. As the lens increases in size, however, themost centrally situated cells fail to elongate as rapidly asthe more peripheral ones and are pushed in toward thecenter of the lens, the more peripheral fibers meeting be-low them along a line passing across the inner surface ofthe lens. The disparity of growth continuing, a similarsutural line appears in the outer surface beneath the ante-rior epithelium, and the fibers become arranged in con-centric layers around a central core composed of theshorter fibers. In the human eye the line of suture of theperipheral fibers becomes bent so as to consist of two limbswhich meet at an angle, and from the angle a new suturingline develops during embryonic life, so that the sutureassumes the form of a three-rayed star. In later life thestars become more complicated, being either six-rayedor more usually nine-rayed in the adult condition ().. /?-££/ v^ifllllffilfff mmmttmmm x-v /
