Abstract
The present study investigates the cellular events involved
In the organization of a mass of mesenchymal cells into a three-dimensional
pattern of blood vessels, blood cells, and coelomic
linings. This study has been carried out in both the AP and AOV,
affording an integrated understanding of this morphogenesis throughout
the blastoderm. Attention has been focused on the dorso-ventral
and proximo-distal polarities in the developmental properties of the
components of this system, and the roles of the associated germinal
layers (the ectoderm and endoderm) in these two regions in the temp
orally and spatially appropriate creation of this pattern.
