[The volumes of the orbit and the eyeball in human embryos].
The orbital and eyeball volumes in 176 and 126 human embryos were measured respectively. The results showed that the orbit and the eyeball increased in volume with the age of the fetuses, while the corresponding ratios between the two differed insignificantly, indicating that the orbit and the eyeball developed parallelly during gestation.
