From: Blood flow shapes intravascular pillar geometry in the chick chorioallantoic membrane
Spatial plots of intravascular pillar anisotropy. A) Morphometry of intravascular pillars at vessels bifurcations demonstrated an inverse correlation between pillar length and vessel angle (R2 = 0.28). B) Comparison of the orientation of the pillar axis and vessel axis. Morphometry determined the longitudinal axis and length of the pillar relative to the vessel axis (arbitrarily assigned 0 degrees). Bifurcations reflecting convergent (open circle) and divergent (closed circle) flow are shown. Regression coefficients reflected an adjusted R2 = 0.05; p = .02.
