THE HEART—ITS FUNCTION AND DISEASES. 541 blood which has circulated through the heart itself for its own nourishment. A considerable quantity of dark, venous blood is generally found in this auricle after death, and it opens into the right or anterior ventricle by an aperture denominated the au- riculo-ventricular opening; yet, in consequence of a valvular con- trivance within the ventricle, the blood can not recede into the the heart; its circulation. Explanation.—a, The left ventricle; 6, The right ventricle; cef, The aorta; ghi, The ca- rotid and other arteries springing from the aorta; k, The pulmonary artery ; /, Branches of the pulmonary artery in the lungs ; m m, The pulmonary veins emptying into the left auricle; n, The right auricle; o, The ascending vena cava; q, The descending vena cava ; r, The left auricle; s, The coronary vein and artery. Internally, the right auricle is lined by a glistening vascular membrane, having, on various parts of its surface, small muscular eminences, termed musculi pectinati. The small cavities which occur, in consequence of this arrangement, are termed cul-de-sacs. The right or venous ventricle is also lined by a nicely-organized membrane, and has beneath it several muscular prominences, named carnce columnce, which give origin to as many tendinous.
