Early cardiovascular development of the mouse. The schematic illustrations of the mouse heart from E8.5 (A), E9.5 (B) and E10.5 (C) illustrate the early developmental events of the cardiogenesis. The aortic sac (AS) contributes to the aortic arch arteries (AA), and the bulbus cordis (BC) mainly to the primitive right ventricle (PRV). AVC, atrioventricular canal; CAC, common atrial chamber; DoA, dorsal aorta; LA, (future) left atrium; OFT, outflow tract; PLV, primitive left ventricle; RA, (future) right atrium. Modified from Kirby M. (1997).
