mortality/aging
• mice between E9.5 and E12.5, with most dead by E11.5

cardiovascular system
• at E10.5, intersomitic vessels and their branches are less organized and the number of secondary and tertiary branches are reduced
• at E10.5 branches of the internal carotid artery and the primary head veins are atretic
• at E10.5 the density of vessels in the head is reduced
• at E10.5 the labyrinth layer is less well vascularized , the penetration of the embryonic vessels is relatively superficial, and contact between embryonic and maternal vessels is reduced
• markers of arteries and veins are ectopically expressed suggesting a defect in vessel specification
• however, at E10 blood circulation through the dorsal aorta is normal
• at E10.5, dorsal aortae are smaller or collapsed
• at E10.5 the number of secondary and tertiary branches of the intersomitic vessels are reduced and the branches of the internal carotid artery and the primary head veins are atretic
• at E10.5 the cardinal veins are smaller or collapsed
• at E10.5 larger branching vessels are absent and the density of small capillaries is significantly reduced
• at E10.5 trabeculation of the bulbus cordis is reduced
• at E10.5 the outer myocardial wall is thinner
• at E10.5
• dilated pericardial sac
• seen in various regions of the embryo at E10.5
• hemorrhages are seen in the common cardinal veins at E10.5
• at E10.5
• hemorrhages are seen in the head at E10.5

embryo
• at E10.5 larger branching vessels are absent and the density of small capillaries is significantly reduced
• some embryos show signs of growth retardation at E9.5 and all exhibit growth retardation by E10.5
• at E10.5 the labyrinth layer is thinner and less well vascularized
• at E10.5 the labyrinth layer is less well vascularized , the penetration of the embryonic vessels is relatively superficial, and contact between embryonic and maternal vessels is reduced
• at E10.5 yolk sacs are thinner and lack obvious blood circulation
• at E10.5 the primitive plexus has failed to remodel

homeostasis/metabolism
• at E10.5

nervous system
• at E10.5 the density of vessels in the head is reduced
• hemorrhages are seen in the head at E10.5

growth/size/body
