Fig. 138.—Portion of bulbus arteriosus of basking shark. Shows the great thickness of thebulb (a) and of the valves (b), and how the latter support each other.— Original. The corpus Arantii is never present in a perfectly healthy semi-lunar segment; nor will its absence occasion surprise, when it is re-membered that its presence materially interferes with the folding ofthe segments upon themselves, wheD the valve is in action. Thatits existence is not necessary to the perfect closure of a semilunarvalve, is proved by its complete absence in the segments of thehuman pulmonic valve,
