Endogenous origin of the lymphatics in the avian chorioallantoic membrane
19 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
The lymphatics of the intestinal organs have important functions in transporting chyle toward the jugulosubclavian junction, but the lymphangiogenic potential of the splanchnic mesoderm has not yet been tested. Therefore, we studied the allantoic bud of chick and quail embryos. It is made up of endoderm and splanchnic mesoderm and fuses with the chorion to form the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) containing both...
