During the early stages of development, the chick embryo with the surrounding yolk sac blood vessels offers a good model for vascular and circulatory studies. At days 3–6 of incubation the test-system mainly consists of the chambered heart with embryonic and extraembryonic blood vessels. The system has been proofed to be a suitable model for the assessment of acute toxicity of irritant substances (Rosenbruch and Holst, 1990).
