What are the 5 structures of the primitive heart?
The Truncus Arteriosus, the Bulbus Cordis, the Ventricle, the Atrium and the Sinus Venosus
What does the Truncus Arteriosus give rise to?

What separates the trabecular and smooth portions of the atria?
The Crista Terminalis

What does the Atrioventricular septum separate?
The Right Atrium and the Left Ventricle
What causes the intertatrial septation?
