FIGURE 9

Developmental patterns of the anterior-to-posterior (AP) gradients in morphological and hemodynamic quantities in the zebrafish trunk vasculature. Circles indicate the hemodynamic AP gradient obtained from linear regression fitting of the pooled AP data, whisker bars indicate the standard error of the regression and * symbols denote statistically significant gradients from the slope T-test (p < 0.05). (A) AP gradients for Vpeak in the DA/CA (i), PCV/CV (ii), aISVs (iii), vISVs (iv) and DLAV (v). (B) AP gradients in D in the DA/CA (i), PCV/CV (ii), aISVs (iii), vISVs (iv) and DLAV (v). (C) AP gradients for Hd in the DA/CA (i), PCV/CV (ii), aISVs (iii), vISVs (iv) and DLAV (v). (D) AP gradients for η in the DA/CA (i), PCV/CV (ii), aISVs (iii), vISVs (iv) and DLAV (v). (E) AP gradients for WSSpeak in the DA/CA (i), PCV/CV (ii), aISVs (iii), vISVs (iv) and DLAV (v). (F) AP gradients in PSR in the DA/CA (i), PCV/CV (ii), aISVs (iii), vISVs (iv) and DLAV (v).
