Figure 6From: Blood flow shapes intravascular pillar geometry in the chick chorioallantoic membrane3D computational flow modeling of an acute angle bifurcation (5 degrees) in the CAM. A 3D finite element model was constructed based on geometry obtained from intravital microscopy; computational flow dynamics was calculated based on measured intravascular flow velocity. A) A digital recombination of a 100 consecutive images demonstrating an intravascular pillar near the bifurcation of a converging flow stream; B) wall shear stress, C) blood velocity, and C) blood pressure are also shown. Bar = 50 um.Back to article page
