Veterinary anatomy. 624 BLOOD-VASCULAR SYSTEM OF THE HORSE 1 he anterior part of the orifice is usually only about an inch or two (ca. 3-5 cm.) above the level of the ventral end of the first rib, while the posterior part is four or five inches (ca. 10-12 cm). higher than the sternal end of the fifth rib. It is guarded by the tricuspid valve (Valvula tricuspidalis); of the three large cusps of this valve, one is between the atrio-ventricular opening and the conus arteriosus, one is septal, and the third is on the right margin. Small intermediate cusps intervene between the large ones. The peripheral edges of the cusps are at- tached to the fibrous ring at the atrio-ventricular opening. The central edges are irregular and hang down into the ventricle; they give attachment to chordae ten- dinese. The auricular surfaces are smooth. The ventricular surfaces are rough and furnish attachment to interlacing branches of the chordfe tendinese. The valves are folds of the endocardium, strengthened by fibrous tissue and at the periphery Musculi peclinati Pulmonary artery ^ Musculi peclinati Aortic valve.^ 1 Great coronary ^ j vein "/j^ Left coronary _ W artery . \ Bicuspid valve '»"' Chorda- tendiiiva; .- - Papillary muscle. ^ Right coronary artery *-^ Trabecula: carnece Fig. 5-lS.—Section of Heart of Horse.

The chordae tendineae are attached below to the three musculi papillares, which project from the ventricular wall; superiorly they divide into branches which are inserted into the ventricular surfaces and the free edges of the valves. Each cusp of the valve receives chordae tendineae from two papillary muscles. Of the latter, two are on the septum and the third and largest springs from the anterior wall. The pulmonary orifice (Ostium pulmonale) is circular
