The first visceral cleft runs between the first and second aortic arches. Consequently the first aortic arch runs in the first visceral fold and the second in the second. In the same way, the second visceral cleft lies between the second and third aortic arches, the third aortic arch running in the third visceral fold. Each aortic arch runs in the thickened mesoblast of the corresponding fold. Arrived at the upper surface of the alimentary canal, these arches unite at acute angles to form a common trunk, the dorsal aorta (Fig. 39 A, A. 0), which runs along the back iname- diately under the notochord. The length of this common single trunk is not great, as it soon divides into two main branches. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page i
