mortality/aging
• observe no heart contractions beyond E11.5 and see autolysis of embryos
|
cardiovascular system
• reduction in the number of thin, spindle-like cardiomyocytes
|
• reduction in chamber size, however, the endocardial cushions of the atrioventricular canal, the common atrial chamber, and the truncus arteriosus all appear normal
|
• reduction in trabeculation of the ventricular wall
|
• show uncoordinated contractions at E10.5
|
embryo
• smaller at E10.5
|
growth/size/body
• smaller at E10.5
