ANATOMY OF THE CIRCULATORY ORGANS. 155 is that of an inverted cone, the base of which is directedupward and backward, toward the right shoulder, while itsapex points forward to the left side, about three inches fromthe sternum to the space between the fifth and sixth ribs. Itsunder side rests upon the tendinous portion of the heart is surrounded by a sac, called the per-i-cardi-um,(heart-case.)
