title: Functional morphology of chorioallantoic vascular network in chicken.
abstract: The formation, development, and reduction of the capillary network in the chicken chorioallantoic membrane on days 7-20 of egg incubation were studied by light and electron microscopy with morphometry. Specific features in the architectonics and structure of the mesodermal large vessels and their connection to the suprachoroidal capillaries for provision of adequate gas exchange are shown.
