Abstract
Development. In the early embryonic life of the human, before the coronary arteries appear, the heart wall is a loose meshwork of developing myocardial fibers, with relatively large spaces between the muscle trabeculae containing blood which circulates back and forth from the cavities with the heartbeat. These spaces or sinusoids enable the supply of the myocardium (Licata 1955, 1956; O’Rahilly 1971; Bankl 1977; van Mierop 1979).
