Some animals (amphibians and reptiles) have a three-chambered heart, in which the blood from each atrium is mixed in the single ventricle before being pumped to the aorta. In these animals, the left atrium still serves the purpose of collecting blood from the pulmonary veins.
However, the fish heart has entry and exit compartments that may be called chambers, so it is also sometimes described as three-chambered [156] or four-chambered, [157] depending on what is counted as a chamber. The atrium and ventricle are sometimes considered "true chambers", while the others are considered "accessory chambers". [158]
Tricuspid valve separates right chambers- atrium from ventricle. As its name suggest, it has 3 leaflets (anterior, posterior and septal), all attached at the annulus of the leaflet that notably lacks any fibrotic tissue. [37] Apart from the leaflets and annulus, it also consists of three papillary muscles and three sets of chordae tendineae. [38]
When the left common cardinal vein disappears in the tenth week only the oblique vein of the left atrium and the coronary sinus remain. The right pole joins the right atrium to form the wall portion of the right atrium. The right and left venous valves fuse and form a peak known as the septum spurium. At the beginning, these valves are large ...
In amphibians and most reptiles, a double circulatory system is used, but the heart is not always completely separated into two pumps. Amphibians have a three-chambered heart. In reptiles, the ventricular septum of the heart is incomplete and the pulmonary artery is equipped with a sphincter muscle. This allows a second possible route of blood ...
The tubular heart or primitive heart tube is the earliest stage of heart development. [1] The heart is the first organ to develop during human embryonic development. [2]From the inflow to the outflow, the tubular heart consists of sinus venosus, primitive atrium, the primitive ventricle, the bulbus cordis, and truncus arteriosus. [3]
Snakes and other non-archosaur (crocodilians, dinosaurs + birds and allies) reptiles have a three-chambered heart that controls the circulatory system via the left and right atrium, and one ventricle. [76] Internally, the ventricle is divided into three interconnected cavities: the cavum arteriosum, the cavum pulmonale, and the cavum venosum. [77]
Cor triatriatum (or triatrial heart) [1] is a congenital heart defect where the left atrium (cor triatriatum sinistrum) or right atrium (cor triatriatum dextrum) is subdivided by a thin membrane, resulting in three atrial chambers (hence the name).
