| Fig. 15.—A sagittal section (X 80) of the A-V junction, just to the right of the intriatrial septum. The section is viewed from the left. The atrial musculature is invaginated into the base of the ventricle as the A-V funnel. The epicardial tissue (Ep) accompanies this invagination for some distance, completely separating the atrial from the ventricular musculature. More caudally, however, these are seen to become directly continuous. This section also shows the right septal cusp (R. S. C.) of the bell-shaped valve with its concavity directed towards the ventricle and its caudal margin attached to the ventricular wall both ventrally and dorsally. Fig. 16.—Ventral view of the hear of Letolopisma grande in situ. Note the sac-like diverticulars (S. D.) of the right atrium projecting between the diverging carotid arteries. Fig. 17.—A wax-plate reconstruction of the sinu-atrial junctional region, from the ventral aspect. The ventral wall of the sinus venosus (S. V.) and the dorsal wall of the right atrium (R. A.) can be seen. The rostral (R. S. V.) and caudal (C. S. V.) cusps of the S. A. valve project into the right atrium. At its left-hand end the rostral cusp continues on to the dorsal part of the interatrial septum (I. S.). A white arrow passes through the opening of the pulmonary vein (P. V.) into the left atrium. | Plate 17 |
| Figs. 18 21 are thick hand-cut transverse sections of the ventricle seen from above. The sections proceed in a caudal direction. × 16. Fig. 18.—Shows the muscular ridge separating the large cavum dorsale from the small cavum pulmonale (into which a hair has been inserted). Fig. 19.—This section includes a portion of both the muscular and apical ridges. The muscular ridge again separates the cavum pulmonale ventrally and to the right (with a hair inserted in it) from the cavum dorsale dorsally. The apical ridge can be seen running dorso-ventrally across the cavum dorsale, dividing it into the cavum venosum on the right, and cavum arteriosum on the left. Fig. 20.—The muscular ridge is not present at this level, but the apical ridge is prominent. Fig. 21.—Apex of the ventricle. Here muscular trabeculae divide the ventricular cavity into a number of regular spaces into which hairs have been inserted. Fig. 22.—Photomicrograph of ventricular muscle to show the characteristic appearance of the bulged portions of the fibres when these are cut in transverse section Azan × 600. Fig. 23.—Photomicrograph of a nest of epitheloid cells situated between the right and left systemic arteries in the adventitia of the truncus. The actual paraganglion cells may be distinguished by their distinct nucleoli (as indicated by arrow). Three fat cells are seen in the cell-nest in this section H. P. F. × 615. Fig. 24.—Subepicardial vein communicating with intertrabecula space H. P. F. × 290. | Plate 18 |
