Figure Caption

Fig. 6 The craniofacial skeletal muscles in popdc2 morphants exhibit an abnormal morphology. Confocal analysis of heads of 3 dpf Tg(acta:GFP) embryos, which were injected with (A,C) MO-control (MO-CTR) or MO1/MO2-popdc2 morpholinos, respectively. In the morphants craniofacial muscles are malformed and in many cases significantly reduced in size. Abbreviations: ah, adductor hyoideus; am, adductor mandibulae; ao, adductor operculi; do, dilator operculi; hh, hyohyoideus; ih, interhyoideus; ima, intermandibularis anterior; imp, intermandibularis posterior; io, inferior oblique; ir, interior rectus, lap, levator arcus palatini; mr, medial rectus; sh, sternohyoideus; so, superior oblique; tv 1–5, transversus ventralis 1–5.Scale bar = 50 μm.
