Schematic diagram illustrating one of the difficulties inherent in attempting to deduce the 3D shape of the ACs from cross-sectional profiles. When tubular structures are transected as shown in A, they generate profiles like those seen in B (see Fig. 2A–D). Only by 3D reconstruction can the exact 3D perspective of the ACs be visualized.
