Abstract

Introduction: The cartilago cordis is a structure present within the cardiac skeleton of some, but not all, vertebrate species. This systematic review compared the presence, structure, and function of the cartilago cordis from published works covering all vertebrate species.

Methods: Literature searches were conducted to obtain information relating to the anatomical location, morphology, prevalence, number of structures, development, and function.

Results: The cartilago cordis was most commonly composed of hyaline cartilage but its location within the cardiac skeleton, anatomical, and histological structure varied between species. The cartilago cordis has not been documented in every vertebrate species, or every individual within each species, but it is present in 68 vertebrates including an amphibian, and some mammals, reptiles, and birds. The function of the cartilago cordis is unknown, but theories have ranged from an adaptive mechanism to support cardiac tissue through to roles in conduction and contraction, especially in areas of high mechanical stress. Possible links between the presence of a cartilago cordis and cardiac pathologies were also identified.

Conclusion: The cartilago cordis varied in prevalence, structure, and location; further research is required to understand the function and development. In addition, it is possible there are more vertebrate species containing cartilago cordis than presently known about given its varying prevalence and sometimes small size.

软软骨的解剖学、组织学、病因学、发育和功能:系统综述。
心软骨是存在于某些脊椎动物心脏骨骼中的一种结构,但并非所有脊椎动物都是如此。这篇系统的综述比较了所有脊椎动物种类的软软骨的存在、结构和功能。方法:通过文献检索,获取其解剖位置、形态、患病率、结构数量、发育和功能等相关信息。结果:心软骨多由透明软骨组成,但其在心脏骨骼中的位置、解剖和组织学结构因种而异。软骨石并没有在每个脊椎动物物种中被记录下来,也没有在每个物种中的每个个体中被记录下来,但它存在于68种脊椎动物中,包括两栖动物、一些哺乳动物、爬行动物和鸟类。软软骨的功能尚不清楚,但理论范围从支持心脏组织的适应性机制到传导和收缩的作用,特别是在高机械应力区域。心脏软骨的存在和心脏病变之间可能的联系也被确定。结论:软软骨的患病率、结构和位置存在差异;需要进一步的研究来了解其功能和发展。此外,可能有更多的脊椎动物种类含有软骨石比目前已知的不同的普遍性和有时小的尺寸。

期刊介绍: ''Cells Tissues Organs'' aims at bridging the gap between cell biology and developmental biology and the emerging fields of regenerative medicine (stem cell biology, tissue engineering, artificial organs, in vitro systems and transplantation biology). CTO offers a rapid and fair peer-review and exquisite reproduction quality. Special topic issues, entire issues of the journal devoted to a single research topic within the range of interests of the journal, are published at irregular intervals.
