The present project is to support the visit of Prof. Dr. Edwin Taylor for 5 months (October 2012 to February 2013) to our laboratory in order to study the cardiovascular physiology of reptiles, and in particular embryonic development. This is the continuation of a collaborative investigation initiated in 2010 that has already produced data being prepared for publication (see the proposal)…

The cardiovascular control is related to the appropriate oxygen delivery to tissues, according to the metabolic demand of the organism. To ensure the correct supply of oxygen carried by the blood there is a control executed by the autonomic nervous system with its sympathetic and parasympathetic branches. At the embryo phase, the nervous system is in continuous maturation and the mechanis…
Embryos of amniotes have a unique system of gas exchange in which the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) acts as the exchange surface, a structure analogous to the mammalian placenta. While circulatory system function of the mammalian fetus is well understood even basic parameters such as heart rate in other amniotic animals remain a mystery. Blood flow during non-mammalian amniotic developme…
Studies demonstrate that the heart rate is maintained virtually constant during most of the embryonic development of reptiles, despite the continuous increase in oxygen demand by the developing embryo. However, information about the cardiovascular adjustments that allows the appropriate oxygen delivery to embryonic tissues are scarce in reptiles, in contrast to avian models. In this way, …
