conus arteriosus
conus arteriosus A small thick-walled chamber of the heart of vertebrate embryos that receives blood from the single ventricle and leads to the ventral aorta. It is retained as a distinct structure in adult fishes and (with modifications) amphibians, but in higher vertebrates it is incorporated into the roots of the aorta and pulmonary arteries.
