Objectives: The lateral geniculate body in human fetuses of different gestations. The Present study is to determine the apperance of the number of laminae and to observe the types of cells present in different laminae at different gestations. Methods: The present work is the result of study of lateral geniculate bodies in human fetuses, which are obtained from local government hospitals. Age of the fetuses ranged from 20-40 weeks. The age of fetuses is judged by CR lengths. The photo graphes of slides are taken by SAMTRON__ampersandsignlsquo;computer having a closed circuit camera and an adapter fixed to ?LYNX__ampersandsignlsquo; (LAWRENCE AND MAYO) trinocular research microscope after the routine histological procedures. Result: Histo genisis of lateral geniculate body is of different propotions at different gestations of embryonic life. In the present study at 20 wees of gestation bipolar cells are abundantly seen and laminar differentiation has not seen. At 24 th week of geststion the laminar differentiation has started.all 6 laminae are visible by at 33 weeks of gestations.varied diameters of rounded neurons are seen with predominance__ampersandsignnbsp;of multipolar neurons have been observed at 38 weeks of gestation. Multipolar cells are visible at 40 weeks of gestation in all 6 laminae. Conclusion: in the present study all 6 laminae are differentiated at 33 week of gestation. During 20 to 40 weeks of gestation the predominance of cells present in laminae differentiated from rounded to multipolar neurons.
