corpus cardiacum
ID: FBbt_00005799
Anatomy
Neuroendocrine structure that forms part of the ring gland. In the embryo and larva it is found around the floor of the aorta, just anterior to the brain (Dai and Gilbert, 1991; de Velasco et al., 2004, Nassel and Zandawala, 2020). It migrates posteriorly during metamorphosis (Dai and Gilbert, 1991 and is found posterior to the brain, near the proventriculus, in the adult (Nassel and Zandawala, 2020). It produces Adipokinetic hormone from late embryo to adult stages (Lee and Park, 2004. (Lee and Park, 2004, Campos-Ortega and Hartenstein, 1997, Dai and Gilbert, 1991, Nässel and Zandawala, 2020)
