P.338 right column bottom paragraph: "Surgical conotruncal ligation (ligation of the ventricular outflow tract) can be carried out with 10‐0 surgical silk in chicken embryos from about day 2+ until day 5–6 (after which the embryo descends too deeply into the interior of the egg for surgical access). Chicken embryos by day 3–4 have a vigorous circulation, with a rapidly expanding blood volume approaching 50–100 μL and a cardiac output of about 20–50 μL/min (primary sources)." |
