Preferred Label : secondary heart field;
Uberon definition : A specific region of the lateral mesoderm that will form the majority of the mesodermal
component of the right ventricle, arterial pole (outflow tract) and venous pole (inflow
tract).;
Uberon synonym : second heart field; anterior heart field; anterior/second heart field;
Uberon related term : SHF;
Uberon Development note : in mouse has left ventricular identity[PMID:22855565];
Uberon Taxon note : In general, the two studies in chick concluded that the contribution of the SHF was
to the outflow tract, whereas the mouse work suggested that the second lineage contributed
more broadly to the heart, including the outflow tract and much or all of the right
ventricle [11-14]. These different conclusions may represent differences in the experimental
approaches used or may represent bona fide differences in the contribution of the
second lineage to the hearts of birds compared to mammals [11]. Alternatively, the
secondary/anterior heart fields described in the chick may represent a subset of a
broader field that makes a more substantial contribution to the heart, as the mouse
studies suggested;
