Evidence for the Primo Vascular System above the Epicardia of Rat Hearts

<table>Representative stereoscopic image of the PVS, stained with Cr-Hx, above the epicardium of the rat heart. Dotted circles indicate primo PNs, and arrows mean PVs. BA means branch of artery, which is not stained with Cr-Hx. The inset fluorescence image of PNs and PVs stained with (DAPI) demonstrates that they have several kinds of cells. The scale bars of the main figure and the inset are 270 <i>μ</i>m and 40 <i>μ</i>m, respectively.</table>
