Fig. 29. Dorsal view of entire chick embryo having 19 pairs of somites

(x14) (about 43 hours incubation).

Due to torsion the cephalic region appears in dextro-dorsal view.

The vessels destined to carry blood from the embryo to the vitelline plexus develop in embryos of about 40 hours (Fig. 29). Like the afferent vitelline channels, the efferent channels have a dual origin. The proximal portions of the efferent channels arise within the embryo as branches of the dorsal aortae, and extend peripherally. The distal portions of the channels arise in the extra-embryonic vascular area and extend toward the embryo. The efferent vitelline vessels are estabhshed when these two sets of channels become confluent. In its early stages the connection is through a network of small channels rather than definite vessels, the aortae breaking up posteriorly into small channels some of which communicate laterally with the extra-embryonic plexus. Later some of these channels become confluent, others disappear, and gradually definite main vessels, the omphalomesenteric arteries, are established. For some time after their formation, the omphalomesenteric arteries are likely to retain traces of their origin from a plexus of small channels and arise from the aorta by several roots (Fig. 35).
