    (LXXV1.) On the right, or anterior side, the Auricle receives nearly all the blood from the veins through those large trunks called the Superior and Inferior Cavae. Between this Auricle and the Ventricle on the same side there are inter- posed Valves, called from their shape Tricuspid, which open towards that ventricle. (LXXVII.) From the right ventricle arises the Pulmonary Artery, having at its origin Semilunar Valves, opening in the direction of the artery. Through this artery the blood of the right side of the heart passes into the Lungs. (LXXVIII.) On the left or posterior side of the heart, the blood, returning from the lungs, and being collected into those large trunks called Pulmo- nary Veins, is received into the left auricle; between which and the ventricle of the same side, are placed the Mitral Valves, opening to- wards the ventricle.
