TECHNIC AND DESCRIPTION OF ORGANS 171 When placed in this position the terminal portion of thecoronary artery lies almost vertically from the base to theapex of the ventricles and directly over the edge of themedian septum. The first incision is made longitudinallyparallel to and one inch to the right of the coronary arteryfrom base to apex through the wall of the right ventricle Biscuspid valves Median septum Tricuspid valves. Fig. 120.—No. 2 in series. Right and left cavities of the heart opened after completingincisions indicated in Fig. 119. Tricuspid and bicuspid valves exposed. (Fig. 119). One should hold the knife in a full hand gripto make this incision and cut downward through the rightventricular wall, taking care to cut no deeper than thethickness of the wall. When the wall of the right ventriclehas been incised from base to its lower end near the apex,turn the knife with the cutting edge upward and force thepoint under the tricuspid valves at the superior end of theincision. Cut upward through the tricuspid valves and 172 VETERINARY POST-MORTEM TECHNIC continue the incision through the auricular wall in a directline with the incision just made through the wall of theventricle. Next lay the right auricle and ventricle open, cutthe cordfe tendin^e and examine the contents. Wash outthe auricle and ventricle with water and examine the tricus-
