Study Notes

Heart Tube Development

The heart tube initially forms as two distinct structures, known as right and left heart tubes.
These two tubes eventually fuse to create a single, continuous heart tube.

Structural Orientation of Heart Tube

The heart tube has two ends: an arterial end and a venous end.
The arterial end is responsible for blood exit, also referred to as outflow.
Outflow is connected to two dorsal aortae, which facilitate the distribution of oxygenated blood.

Venous End Functionality

The venous end is where blood enters the heart tube, playing a crucial role in circulation.
This setup ensures a unidirectional flow of blood through the developing heart structure, establishing early cardiovascular functionality.
