This right ventricle impels the blood, thus re ceived, through the pulmonary arteries (f), into the lungs at (h), where it is aerated, and whence it is reconveyed by the pulmonary veins (i), into the left auricle (k), which immediately pours it into the left ventricle (l), the point from whence we set out. Both the right and the left heart have their re- spective auricles and ventricles ; but they are all united in one envelope, so as to compose in appear- ance but a single organ :* still, however, the right * A remarkable exception to this general law of consolidation occurs in the heart of the Dugong, 360 *^^#-ffti ys represented in Fig. 360, in which it may be seen that the two ventricles, (e and l), are almost entirely de- taclied from each other. In this figure, which is taken from the Phi- losophical Transactions for 1820, r> is the right or systemic auricle ; e the right or pulmonary ventricle ; f the pulmonary artery ; k the left or pulmonary auricle ; l the left or sys- temic ventricle ; and a the aorta. A similar separation of the ventricles though not to the same extent, is observed in the apex of the heart of the Manati, (Trichechus ma- natus.).
