What is the name of the Infundibulum of the Aorta?

[dknykid1980]

Hey there gunners 🙂

i'm sure one of you all know this. I have been trying to figure out what the name of the infundibulum of the aorta is called (i know that you can just refer to it as the infundibulum of the aorta) but there is another latin name. For example the pulmonary trunk in the adult body is referred to as the conus arteriosus. I know that both infundibula are derived from the bulbus cordis but what is the adult structure referred to as.

I'm just curious as to what this is called (hehehe its what happens to you when you are studying for an anatomy exam and its 3AM).

thanks


kudos to whoever knows this too!!

I just looked through my book since I reviewed embryology only a few days ago. Here's the answer:

"In the left ventricle, the bulbus cordis forms the walls of the "aortic vestibule," the part of the ventricular cavity just inferior to the aortic valve."

But it's interesting to note that it's not called the "infundibulum" on the left side.

doh!-

Hmmm.. 'In-fun-dib-You-lum' I know I've heard that word before. Is it important that I remember it?

The infundibulum is also referred to as the conus arteriosus. It is an embryological remnant.

Hope that helps
