title: [Craniofacial growth modified by blood supply. 2. Changes in arterial cross sections and arterial blood supply].
abstract: The cross sectional areas of arteries were calculated from their measured thicknesses. The monthly increase in size of the cross sectional area of the aorta is higher in both the controls and the operated animals between the 6th week and 4th month of life than during the subsequent period. The rate at which the cross sectional area of the aorta increased in operated animals was about twice that observed in the controls. The left common carotid artery increased its cross section in the operated animals most rapidly up to the fourth month. The cross sectional areas of all anastomoses increased five-fold by the 12th month of life. The quantities of blood flowing correlated closely with the angiometric values.
