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.
本系统评价强调了不同兽医物种和人类中心脏骨（ossa cordis）的流行率、组织学和解剖位置的相似性和差异性。此外，它还确定了与这些骨结构可能发挥的功能和发育机制相关的因素，如老化和心血管疾病。提出了心脏骨的潜在功能，包括辅助心脏收缩和传导、提供心脏结构和保护心脏组件，以及抵抗高机械应力。此外，本综述还讨论了不同兽医物种和人类中心脏骨形成和发育理论背后的证据和原理。
