Fig. 10 Multilayer composite diagram of circulation in the developing zebrafish head and cranial trunk at approximately 4.5 days postfertilization (dpf). A pair of 4.5 dpf dorsal-view angiographic image stacks were divided into 4 paired substacks, and each of these was separately reconstructed. Drawings were prepared detailing the vascular patterns in each of the four reconstructions. For clarity, only major arterial and venous vessels and short connecting portions of smaller caliber vessels are shown in each diagram. (A) Bottom layer diagram, showing ventral cranial vessels (beginning approximately just above the future pharynx). (B) Lower middle layer diagram. (C) Upper middle layer diagram. (D) Top layer diagram, showing the most dorsal cranial vessels. (E) Angiogram corresponding to the diagram in panel (C). (F) Angiogram corresponding to the diagram in panel (D). All panels are oriented with rostral to the left and left down. A glossary of the names corresponding to all labeled vessels is provided in Table 1.
