Figure 9. Model of VS development.
Myocardial (violett), endocardial (orange) and most likely trabecular cilia (turquoise) regulate proliferation at distinct cardiac regions. In the ventricles, the cell proliferation in these regions results in wall thickness control, trabecular formation and a push of cells toward the base of the muscular ventricular septum (indicated by pink arrows). ECC cilia (yellow) seem to be different from the other cardiac cilia, since they do not regulate ECC proliferation. LA, left atrium; RA, right atrium; LV, left ventricle; RV, right ventricle; muVS, muscular ventricular septum.
