Morphological maps of investigated aortas are presented on Figures 1– 5. Furthermore, an opportunity of making a broader classification of regions was taken: normal tissue, early lesions (combination 2+3), and late lesions (combination 4+5).
A VSMC fate map of the aorta and its main branches revealed that VSMCs originating from different sources (neural crest, secondary heart field, somites, mesangioblasts, proepicardium, splanchnic mesoderm, mesothelium) reside in distinct segments (Majesky, 2007).
He turned his attention to a pair of aortas.
Phase-contrast mapping of the main pulmonary artery (b) and aorta (c) indicates net forward flow of 130 ml and 80 ml per beat respectively, giving rise to a Qp:Qs ratio of 1.6 1.
Therefore, cumulative mutational burden for 11 investigated mitochondrial genome mutations is associated with 88.2% of cases of atherosclerotic lesions in morphologically mapped aortas.
The "Attached Plaque Surface Area" measurement was also used when computing the "Percent Coverage" (percentage of aorta wall that is covered by plaque), as seen in the "5-Panel Percent Occlusion Map" movies.

Each strip of aorta was cut into 6 7 mm length.
