Summary
The authors have explanted elastic arteries (innominate) and muscular arteries (carotid) from chick embryos. The arteries have been kept from 1–8 days in vitro. Results: (a) the elastic arteries have a medium ability of survival, they never showed degeneration but only loss of differentiation; (b) the muscular arteries have a lesser ability of survival in vitro. They showed loss of differentiation, degeneration and necrosis; (c) the muscular arteries react easily to mechanical stimulation and the lumen may be divided by endothelial cells; (d) when the innominate artery is explanted with the carotid a better survival of the innominate artery is obtained. The innominate artery has a trophic action upon the carotid, in vitro.
