Results
Specimen 2B: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: left side view
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: ventricle cardiac muscle Weak Regionally restricted 2B Expression is present in the cardiomyocytes surrounding the interventricular foramen, a region that will contribute to the ventricular conduction system.

Specimen 2C: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: ventral view
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: interventricular septum Present 2C
TS19: ventricle cardiac muscle Present Regionally restricted 2C Expression is present in thye myocardium at the inner curvature of the interventricular foramen.

Specimen 4A: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: primitive ventricle cardiac muscle Present 4A Expression is present in the cardiomyocytes of the trabecules where the ventricular septum will be formed.

Specimen 4B: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: interventricular septum Present 4B Expression is stronger in the trabecular component than the myocardial component and more pronounced on the left side than the right side.
TS19: interventricular septum endocardial lining Absent 4B
TS19: lung Present 4B

Specimen 4C: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: atrioventricular bundle Present 4C Expression is present in the top of the septum where the antrioventricular bundle will develop.
TS23: impulse conducting system Present Regionally restricted 4C Expression is present in the longitudinally organized trabecules that will form the bundle branches.
TS23: interventricular septum Present Regionally restricted 4C Expression is present in the longitudinally organized trabecules that will form the bundle branches.

Specimen 4I: embryonic day 17.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: atrioventricular bundle Present 4I Expression is present in the top of the septum where the antrioventricular bundle will develop.
TS25: impulse conducting system Present Regionally restricted 4I Expression is present in the longitudinally organized trabecules that will form the bundle branches.
TS25: interventricular septum Present Regionally restricted 4I Expression is present in the longitudinally organized trabecules that will form the bundle branches.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: phalanx pre-cartilage condensation Present
