A cutaway view of the heart outflow tract

The fused endocardial cushions are shown and the animation shows the growth of the spiral membranous septa that divide the single outflow tract into aortic and pulmonary outflows from the heart. Note the spiral nature of this septation process "swaps" the left/right ventricle to vessels anatomical relationship.

Outflow Septation

bulbar ridge

Term describing a spiral region in the developing heart bulbus cordis, there is a left and right bulbar ridge, that contribute to the septation of membranous portion of ventricular septum that is continuous with the outflow tract. These regions fuse to separate the single embryonic outflow tract into the aortic and pulmonary arteries.

bulbus cordis

A region of the early developing heart tube forming the common outflow tract, will differentiate to form three regions of the heart.
Blood Pathway: sinus venosus -> atrium -> ventricle -> bulbus cordis (outflow tract)
