Results
Specimen 3A: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: pyloric sphincter Present 3A Expression in stomach constriction of gut tube at level of developing pyloric sphincter.

Specimen 3B: embryonic day 14.5; Six2tm1Gco/Six2tm1Gco (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: pyloric sphincter Present 3B Authors state that constriction of the gut tube at the boundary of stomach and small intestine does not form.

Specimen 3C: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: stomach mesenchyme Present 3C Expression in stomach reveals thickening of smooth muscle layer.

Specimen 3D: embryonic day 14.5; Six2tm1Gco/Six2tm1Gco (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: stomach mesenchyme Present 3D Authors state the smooth muscle layer fails to thicken.

Specimen 3E: embryonic day 18.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: pyloric sphincter Present 3E Characteristic thickening of smooth muscle layer and constriction of the gut tube in pyloric sphincter region.

Specimen 3F: embryonic day 18.5; Six2tm1Gco/Six2tm1Gco (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: foregut Present 3F No evidence of pyloric sphincter formation at the stomach-small intestine junction.

Specimen 3G: embryonic day 18.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: stomach glandular region muscularis Present 3G Expression in smooth muscle layer in glandular stomach.

Specimen 3H: embryonic day 18.5; Six2tm1Gco/Six2tm1Gco (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: stomach glandular region muscularis Present 3H Thickness of smooth muscle layer in remainder of stomach similar to that of wild type stomach.
