English: Virtual thin sections and 3D renderings of odontode morphology and vascularization in (A) sagittal view of the network of ascending canals within a single odontode and (B) and (C) illustrate the location of the ascending canals (red) in relation to the outer layer of vascular canals (pink). Scales bars are 200 μm. (D) is a 3D rendering of the ascending canals (red) and the outer tier of canals of the spine (pink) in a second-generation odontode. (E) shows the semi-transparent surface of the same odontode and (F) shows the full surface of the odontode. Scale bars are 100 μm. (G–I) shows the same as (D–F), but in two-first-generation odontodes. Scale bars are 100 μm. Yellow arrows explained in text.
