Neural Crest and Cardiac Development

Introduction

The heart is a muscular organ which plays a critical role in the circulatory system by mechanically pumping blood to various organs around the body for the exchange of nutrients and gases. It is located at the center of the chest, right behind the sternum and is tilted slightly to the left. The heart has four different chambers which are compartmentalized by semilunar and atrioventricular valves into the left and right atria and ventricles
