. Elements of human physiology. Physiology. 208 PHYSIOLOGY ventricular valves are thin flaps of fibrous and elastic tissue covered on each side with endocardium and projecting down- wards into the cavities of the ventricles. Their sail-like margins are connected by thin tendinous cords with nipple- shaped projections of the muscular walls of the ventricles, the Fig. Left auricle and ventricle, with outer side cut away to show chief points in anatomy of heart (Testut). 1, aorta; 2, pulmonary artery ; 3, ant. coronary vessels; 5, 5', puhiionary veins; C, left auricle; 7, auricular appendag

By these attachments the edges of the valves are kept close together and prevented from ever- sion under the strong pressure exerted by the contracting ventricles. These valves are two in number on the left side of the heart, forming the mitral valves ; while on the right.
