Check terms are applicable across Bilateria
- heart
Current GO description: The heart is a hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood.
- blood
- vessels
Current GO description: The blood vessel is the vasculature carrying blood.
- blood circulation
Current GO description: The flow of blood through the body of an animal, enabling the transport of O2 and nutrients to the tissues and the removal of waste products.
Not all invertebrates transport O2 through 'blood', Susan proposes to remove hemolymph because it is not used and just relax the definition of blood.

Cardiac cell migration, Heart morphogenesis
* morphogenic and migratory changes to those cell populations as they move towards formation of the heart tube
* L/R patterning
* neural crest contribution to the heart
* SF - cell migration, heart tube, heart looping and jogging
