Developmental changes in the response of extraembryonic arteries (allantoic and yolk sac) from 15- and 19-day chicken embryos to contractile (a) and relaxant (b) agents. Relaxation to acetylcholine was studied in vessels pre-contracted with 5-HT (1 µM), whereas relaxation to sodium nitroprusside (SNP), isoproterenol and forskolin was studied in vessels pre-contracted with KCI (62.5 mM). Each bar represents the mean + SE of 4–10 embryos. *, **, ***p < 0.05, 0.01, 0.001 for difference (yolk sac vs. allantoic at the same age) in observed or apparent E max. ### p < 0.001 for difference (15 vs. 19-days in the same vessel) in apparent E max
