MeSH Heading: Endocardial Cushions
Tree Number(s): A07.541.459.374; A16.378.303.662
Unique ID: D054089
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D054089
Scope Note: A fetal heart structure that is the bulging areas in the cardiac septum between the HEART ATRIA and the HEART VENTRICLES. During development, growth and fusion of endocardial cushions at midline forms the two atrioventricular canals, the sites for future TRICUSPID VALVE and BICUSPID VALVE.
Entry Term(s): Atrioventricular Canal; Atrioventricular Canal Cushions; Atrioventricular Canals; Endocardial Cushion
