Scope note: Estructuras del corazón fetal que son áreas que protruyen en el tabique situado entre las ATRIOS CARDIACOS y los VENTRÍCULOS CARDIACOS. Durante el desarrollo, el crecimiento y fusión de los cojinetes endocárdicos en la línea media forma los dos canales atrioventriculares, el lugar de las futuras VÁLVULA TRICÚSPIDE y VÁLVULA MITRAL.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D054089
Scope note: A fetal heart structure that is the bulging areas in the cardiac septum between the HEART ATRIA and the HEART VENTRICLES. During development, growth and fusion of endocardial cushions at midline forms the two atrioventricular canals, the sites for future TRICUSPID VALVE and BICUSPID VALVE.
