Results
Specimen 1B: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: superior cervical ganglion Present 1B
TS24: glossopharyngeal nerve Present Regionally restricted 1B Baroreceptors of the glossopharyngeal nerve are distributed in the proximal portion (carotid sinus) at root of the internal carotid artery.

Specimen 3B: embryonic day 18.5; Frs2tm1Schl/Frs2tm1Schl (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: superior cervical ganglion Present 3B
TS26: internal carotid artery Absent 3B Authors report innervation of baroreceptor was not localized to the root of the internal carotid artery.

Specimen 5B: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: inferior cervical ganglion Present 5B Authors report that the superior cervical ganglion is separated from the stellate ganglion.
TS21: superior cervical ganglion Present 5B Authors report that the superior cervical ganglion is separated from the stellate ganglion.

Specimen 6A: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: glossopharyngeal nerve Present Regionally restricted 6A Nerve fibers issuing from the glossopharyngeal nerve are distributed around the third arch artery.

Specimen 6B: embryonic day 12.5; Frs2tm1Schl/Frs2tm1Schl (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: glossopharyngeal nerve Weak Regionally restricted 6B In mutant embryo, few fibers are detected around the artery.

Specimen 6C: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: superior cervical ganglion Present 6C
TS21: carotid artery Present Regionally restricted 6C Authors state neuronal cells begin to enter carotid body rudiment, in which nerve fibers were densely distributed. Carotid sinus nerve and sympathetic nerve fibers were intermingled with the carotid body rudiment.

Specimen 6D: embryonic day 13.5; Frs2tm1Schl/Frs2tm1Schl (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: superior cervical ganglion Present Regionally restricted 6D Authors state the superior cervical ganglion failed to extend process around the third arch artery.
TS21: carotid artery Absent 6D Carotid body rudiment was not formed in the wall of the third arch artery.

Specimen 7B: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: superior cervical ganglion Present 7B
TS21: carotid artery Present Regionally restricted 7B Authors state neuronal cells begin to enter carotid body rudiment, in which nerve fibers were densely distributed. Carotid sinus nerve and sympathetic nerve fibers were intermingled with the carotid body rudiment.

Specimen 7D: embryonic day 13.5; Frs2tm1Schl/Frs2tm1Schl (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: superior cervical ganglion Present Regionally restricted 7D Authors state the superior cervical ganglion failed to extend process around the third arch artery.
TS21: carotid artery Absent 7D Carotid body rudiment was not formed in the wall of the third arch artery.

Specimen 8A: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: superior cervical ganglion Present 8A
TS23: carotid artery Present Regionally restricted 8A Authors report baroreceptors were densely distributed at the root of the internal carotid artery.

Specimen 8B: embryonic day 15.5; Frs2tm1Schl/Frs2tm1Schl (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: superior cervical ganglion Present 8B
TS23: carotid artery Absent 8B Neither carotid body nor baroreceptor fibers were detected in the carotid bifurcation of mutatnt embryos.
