Spaces2

• As so aptly pointed out by this author, the formation of these normal spaces or scalae is not a capricious phenomenon, but is a precise and orderly process of development. (edu.au)
• Although Streeter was not primarily concerned with the cytological features of their development, he is of the opinion that, in the human embryo, the enlargement and coalescence of spaces during the formation of the scalae is essentially a process of retraction and rearrangement of the mesenchymal elements and that this tissue is not lost in the process, but actively participates in it.
