The process of the formation of channels, as in the development of blood vessels; the hollowing out of cells (vasifactive cells) which subsequently unite to form the capillaries and smallest vessels; also the formation of tubes in the solid cords of cells representing the larger vessels by the liberation of the central cells, the latter in many instances becoming blood corpuscles. In pathology, the formation of canals in tissues or a thrombus, thus reestablishing a partial communication through the latter.
