The laws and mechanics of circulation, with the principle involved in animal movement . s cut through ; the rootof the right aorta ( is behind that of the left. The relative position of the originsof the three arteries from the chelonian ventricle is shown in Fig. 177, where (P) isthe pulmonary, (-4) the left aorta, (-4) the right aorta—the most posterior, or dorsal,of the three arteries. tain in the heart of chelonia. Then, again, in birds, in whichthe voluntary actions are enormously increased in force, wefind here also that respiration and circulation are in corre-spondence ; otherwise, they could not be produced. It follows,with progress in development in which more and more force iscalled for, that commensurate arrangements must obtain for HEAET AND LUNGS. 429 arterializing and circulating the blood ; hence the differentia-tion of the left cardiac chambers for separating the pulmonicor aerated blood from the systemic venous current, the limi-tation of the arterial or aortal trunk to the left side ofthe heart, the increase in respiratory surface, together Fig. 179.—Abdominal Cavity and Viscera, Draco Volans.—Cyclopediae of Anatomy ;Art.
