Q

During the blastocyst stage, where are the precardiac cells located and what do they do?

A

located within the epiblast layer on either side of primitive streak and migrate through primitive streak to give rise to intraembryonic mesoderm

Q

what is the role of “cardiac jelly”

A

8
Q

Why does the heart loop?

A

because the cardiac tube grows at a greater longitudinal rate than the rest of the embryo

Q

What is the normal orientation of the heart loop?

A
