Three-dimensional reconstruction during diastole as a new tool in the understanding of morphology of embryo heart
Abstract
Aim of our research was to investigate quantitative value of parameters of chicken heart on 15 day of incubation during diastole. This work was achieved by the use of serial histological sections of the embryonic heart, which were traced and put into 3 Dimensional reconstructive program, where we estimated additional stereometric values, which were used for further statistical analysis. Diastole was modeled with the use of KCl solution. It was received a 3 dimensional computer model of the chicken embryo heart during diastole, which was composed of models of separated units (left ventricle cavity, right ventricle cavity, atrium cavity, myocardium of both ventricles, subepicardium). In current work we marked a certain group of parameters for further analysis on different stages in embryonic development during systole and diastole.
