Not illustrated. 1920 Excerpt: ...are likely to retain traces of their origin from a plexus of small channels and arise from the aorta by several roots (Fig. 35). The Beginning of the Circulation of Blood.--At about 44 hours of incubation, coincident with the completion of the vitelline vessels, the heart begins regular contraction, and the blood which has been formed in the extra-embryonic vascular area is for the first time pumped through the vessels of the embryo. In tracing the course of either the embryonic or the vitelline circulation the heart is the logical starting point. From the heart the blood of the extra-embryonic vitelline circulation passes through the ventral aortae, along the dorsal aortae, and out through the omphalomesenteric arteries to the plexus of vessels on the yolk. In the small vessels which ramify in the membranes enveloping the yolk the blood absorbs food material. In young embryos, before the allantoic circulation has appeared, the vitelline circulation is involved also in the oxygenation of the blood. The great surface exposure presented by the multitude of small vessels on the yolk makes it possible for the blood to take up oxygen which penetrates the porous shell and the albumen. After acquiring food material and oxygen the blood is collected by the sinus terminalis and the vitelline veins. The vitelline veins converge toward the embryo from all parts of the vascular area and empty into the omphalomesenteric veins which return the blood to the heart (Fig. 48). The blood of the intra-embryonic circulation, leaving the heart enters the ventral aortae, thence passes into the dorsal aortae, and is distributed through branches from the dorsal aortae to the body of the embryo. It is returned from the cephalic part of the body by the anterior cardinals, and from th...
