Fig. 7. The FEZ graft does not alter hyoid arch pattern. (A) Side and (C) ventral
view of normal, unoperated, and (B,D) chimeric embryo 5 days after
transplantation of the FEZ to the hyoid arch demonstrates that no ectopic
growth was observed after this transplantation. (C) The proximal region of the
hyoid arch comprises the epibranchial (ec) and ceratobranchial cartilages
(cc), while the more distal region of the hyoid arch comprises the basihyal
(bh), the basibranchial (bb) and the entoglsossum (en). (D) After
transplantation, these elements appear normal. mk, Meckel's cartilage; db,
dentary bone; qu, quadrate; qj, qudratojugal; jb, jugal bar. Scale bar: 2
