The opening in this partition is also provided with a valve, called the mitral^ because it is shaped like a bishop's mitre. The walls of the left ventricle are nearly three times as thick as those of the right. When the left ventricle con- tracts, the blood is sent into the first artery, the aorta, with sufficient force to carry it to every part of the system. Its return through the various veins, to the right side of the heart, completes the long or body circulation. Semi-lunar.
