Figure 9. Effects of inhibiting adaptation or conducted responses.

Figure 9

(A) Angiogenesis without structural adaptation and pruning. Resulting structure is mesh-like, without hierarchical structure. (B) Simulation of angiogenesis with reduced conducted response strength. Short flow pathways from feeding to draining vessels carry most of the flow. Regions remote from feeding vessels receive inadequate perfusion. Length and color scales as in Figure 4.
