FIG. 2. Identification of vascular structures and ventral blood islands. Whole-mount in situ hybridization was performed on hatching- stage embryos (stage 33/34) using (A) X-msr to identify vascular tissue and (B) Beta-globin to identify the ventral blood islands. (C) Schematic diagram indicating the location of structures examined in this study. aa, aortic arches; acv, anterior cardinal vein; da, dorsal aorta; endo, endocardium; lav, lateral abdominal vein; pcv; posterior cardinal vein; sa, somitic arteries; tb, tailbud; vbi, ventral blood islands.
