Is extraembryonic angiogenesis in the chick embryo controlled by the endoderm?
The area vasculosa of the chick embryo is subdivided into two concentric zones: the inner transparent area pellucida vasculosa (AVP) and the less transparent surrounding area opaca vasculosa (AOV). The different optical properties of these zones are caused by the different morphology of the endoderm, which consists of flat cells in the APV and of high-prismatic cells containing large yolk vacuoles in the AOV. The present study describes how this endodermal subdivision of the area vasculosa is related to the development of the extraembryonic vascular pattern. By injection of ink into the vascular system of chick embryos at stages 12 to 20 (Hamburger and Hamilton 1951 “HH”), it has been demonstrated that the vascular net of the area vasculosa from stage 14 (HH) onwards develops into different patterns in APV and AOV. The small loops of uniform capillary vessels of stage 13 (HH) are widened due to the rapid expansion of the extraembryonic mesoderm. In the AOV from stage 14 (HH) onwards nu
