The cardiac neural crest is a form of neural crest.[1]
The cardiac neural crest develops from the dorsal neural tube.[2] It overlaps the vagal neural crest and migrates to populate the pharyngeal arches 3, 4 and 6 (producing structures in the head) and to the heart, forming connective tissue that separates the great vessels of the heart.
- Other Migration Locations:
- Into the pharyngeal arches and Truncus arteriosus (embryology), forming the aorticopulmonary septum[3] and the smooth muscle of great arteries.
- Anterior of the aorta to become the four pre-aortic ganglia (celiac ganglion, superior mesenteric ganglion, inferior mesenteric ganglion and aortical renal ganglia)
