[Histogenesis and structural organization of the walls of rat venae cavae and pulmonary veins]. / Gistogenez i strukturnaia organizatsiia stenki polykh i legochnykh ven krysy.

Using light and electron microscopic methods, the histogenesis and structural organization of the walls of rat venae cavae and pulmonary veins were studied in prenatal and postnatal periods of development. The special attention was paid to the appearance of the striated myocytes in the walls of these vessels during the process of ontogenesis. The time of initial divergent development of myoblastic differon was established, the stages of differentiation of striated myoblasts and the peculiarities of intercellular junctions were characterized, as well as the innervation and vascularization of the walls of venae cavae and pulmonary veins.
