bulbar ridges truncal ridges Truncal mesenchyme expands due to migration from: ventral pharyngeal area, pharyngeal arches and endoderm Truncal mesenchyme expands due to migration from: ventral pharyngeal area, pharyngeal arches and endoderm
Both ridges grow superiorly and inferiorly then fuse with the atrioventricular endocardial cushions and the intraventricular septum
Cardiac neural crest migration from pharyngeal arches contributes to division of the outflow tract
Both ridges grow superiorly and inferiorly then fuse with the atrioventricular endocardial cushions and the intraventricular septum
Aorta and pulmonary trunk are then initially established from this septation
