Caption D shows the dilated head vessels in the mutant and their less complex branching in comparison with the normal head vessels shown in A. The vessels caudal to the heart are also enlarged in the mutant with extreme dilation of the dorsal aorta and intersegmental arteries (C, normal and F, mutant). In contrast, the dorsal aorta dorsal to the heart is much smaller and irregularly shaped in the mutant (E) compared to the wild type (B). The aortic arch arteries and intersegmental arteries in this region are also constricted. DA, dorsal aorta; IS, intersegmental artery.
