Supplemental Table 3. List of structures identified in each of the reconstructed embryos.
In total 75 items representing 70 different structures were reconstructed. Bilateral structures are usually shown separately so as not to hinder views. Eight structures not belonging to the cardiovascular system served as topographical landmarks. Almost all structures were identified in ≥2 successive Carnegie stages of development. Reconstructed cardiovascular structures are arranged in the upstream-to-downstream order that is also used in the description of heart morphology according to the “sequential segmental analysis” protocol 3. Because of limited space that is available to describe the structures in the model trees accompanying the reconstructions, the following abbreviations were used: AV: atrioventricular; card: cardinal; CCS: (ventricular) cardiac conduction system; curv: curvature; DMP: dorsal mesenchymal protrusion; HCC: hepatocardiac vein; L: left; LA: left atrium; LV: left ventricle; musc: muscular; NCCs: neural crest cells; non-adj: non-adjacent; OFT: outflow tract; PAAs: pharyngeal arch arteries; pulm: pulmonary; R: right; RA: right atrium; RV: right ventricle; SAN: sinuatrial node; subpulm: subpulmonary; Umb: umbilical; Vit: vitelline.
