Detailed explanation-1: -The right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) refers to the region of blood outflow from the right ventricle between the supraventricular crest and the pulmonary valve. It is comprised of the conus arteriosus (infundibulum), ventricular septum and right ventricular free wall.

Detailed explanation-2: -The right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) is an infundibular extension of the ventricular cavity that connects to the pulmonary artery. The left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), which connects to the aorta, is nearly indistinguishable from the rest of the ventricle.

Detailed explanation-3: -The tract is an oblique channel wedged deeply between the inverted mitral and tricuspid valves. As a consequence of septal malalignment, the pulmonary valve ring overrides the muscular ventricular septum.

Detailed explanation-4: -The infundibular septum separates the right and left ventricular outflow tracts. On the right side, it is bordered by the line from the membranous septum to the papillary muscle of the conus inferiorly and the semilunar valves superiorly. The right side of the infundibular septum is more extensive.
