On the valves of the heart [PDF]
Abstracts of the Papers Communicated to the Royal Society of LondonThe paper contains observations upon the structure and connections of the auriculo-ventricular and arterial valves of the human heart, which the author thinks will assist in explaining their nature and functions. The relation of the “four orifices” in the base of the heart is examined, and it is shown that the aortic and left auriculo-ventricular ...
