Uberon definition : A cardiac ventricle that is in the left side of the heart.;
Uberon synonym : cardiac left ventricle; left ventricle of heart; left ventricle; left cardiac ventricle;
Uberon Homology note : The vertebrate heart initially forms as a tube from a population of precursor cells
termed the first heart field (FHF). Cells from the adjacent second heart field (SHF)
are then progressively added to the developing heart. In avian and mammalian hearts,
the FHF contributes mainly to the left ventricle, whereas the SHF gives rise to the
outflow tract and large portions of the right ventricle and atria. Both fields arise
from common mesodermal progenitors, although the detailed lineage relationships between
FHF and SHF remain uncertain.[well established][VHOG];
Uberon Taxon note : In mammals continuous with aorta;
