[Cardiac vessels of human fetuses and newborn infants].

The anatomy of the cardiac arteries has been studied in 78 and that of the veins--in 74 total preparations of human fetal hearts 3--10-lunar month-old and in newborns. The cardiac vessels are injected with contrast masses, erythrocytes are stained with benzidine, histotopograms are made. In the fetuses all branches of the 1st-3d order of the coronary arteries and cardiac veins have been formed.

[Development of the paravascular bed of the vessels of the human heart during the prenatal period of ontogenesis].

The paravascular bed of the cardiac vessels has been studied in 128 human fetuses at the age of 3-9 lunar months. Anatomical and histological techniques have been used, morphometrical analysis has been carried out. The paravascular bed of the cardiac wall vessels begins to form from the vascular epicardial network and from the paraneural vessels in 5-month-old fetuses.
