Small intestine secondary loops week 7 and 8

Right-lateral (panels a1-c1) and caudal (panels a2-c2) views of the reconstructed intestines of CS18 (s97; panel a), CS20 (462; panel b), and CS23 (s4141; panel c) embryos.

The beige strand (8) represents the periductal mesenchyme. Ovals: umbilical orifice. Note the dorsal (a) and then leftward growth (b, c) of the apex of the 1st secondary loop (coded red and orange), followed by the formation of tertiary loops in its distal limb (c; coded orange). Further note the caudal (a) and then leftward growth (b, c) of the apex of the 2nd and 3rd secondary loops (coded yellow and green, respectively), followed by the formation of tertiary loops (c). Also note that the apex of the 4th secondary loop (coded blue) grows cranially (a) before forming tertiary loops (c).

Scale bar units: μm. An interactive 3D-PDF is available online (3D-PDF CS20)
