  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-000724",
  "term": "Aortopulmonary septum",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A spiral-shaped wall of tissue that develops in the embryonic heart to partition the truncus arteriosus and conus cordis into the ascending aorta and the pulmonary trunk. This septation is a complex process involving the migration and fusion of neural crest cells. Failure of this septum to form correctly leads to congenital heart defects like persistent truncus arteriosus.",
