Embryological Development of the Ventricular Inlets. Septation and Atrioventricular Valve Apparatus

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Cardiovascular Molecular Morphogenesis ((CARDMM))

Abstract

A ventricular inlet is characterized anatomically by the presence of an atrioventricular valve apparatus, the tricuspid on the right side and the mitral on the left side. The atrial limit of the right ventricular inlet is the tricuspid valve ring and that of the left ventricular inlet is the mitral valve ring. The limit of the inlets of both ventricles with their apical trabeculated region correspond with the base of the papillary muscles. Furthermore, in the left ventricle one more anatomical reference is the limit between its smooth region (inlet) and its apical trabeculated region (chapter X).
