Key result
Ossa cordis anatomy varies widely across species, potentially supporting cardiac conduction and mechanical stress resistance.
Systematic Review
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
This systematic review highlights the similarities and variations in Ossa cordis prevalence, histology and anatomical location between differing veterinary species and in humans. In addition, it also identifies associated factors such as aging and cardiovascular disease for each species in relation to functional roles and developmental mechanisms that these bone structures may play. The potential functions of Ossa cordis are presented, ranging from aiding cardiac contraction and conduction, providing cardiac structure, and protecting components of the heart, through to counteracting high mechanical stress. Furthermore, this review discusses the evidence and rationale behind the theories regarding the formation and development of Ossa cordis in different veterinary species and in people.

Best et al. (2022) conducted a systematic review in Ossa cordis and associated cardiovascular disease. Ossa cordis was evaluated on Prevalence, histology, anatomical location, development, and functional roles of Ossa cordis. Ossa cordis structures vary across veterinary species and humans in prevalence, histology, and anatomy, potentially aiding cardiac contraction, conduction, and resistance to mechanical stress.
