Structure and vascularization of the ventricular myocardium in Holocephali: their evolutionary significance [PDF]
AbstractIt was generally assumed that the ventricle of the primitive vertebrate heart was composed of trabeculated, or spongy, myocardium, supplied by oxygen‐poor luminal blood. In addition, it was presumed that the mixed ventricular myocardium, consisting of a compacta and a spongiosa, and its supply through coronary arteries appeared several times ...
