Modification of Aortic Arches in Vertebrates – Discussed!

In this article we will discuss about the modifications of aortic arches in vertebrates. The basic fundamental plan of the aortic arches is similar in different vertebrates during embryonic stages. But in adult the condition of the arrangement is changed either being lost or modified considerably. The number of aortic arches is gradually reduced as the scale of evolution of [...]
