Above: As seen from the auricle. Below: "This shows the cavity of the left ventricle laid open in front by an incision near the septum. The larger valve is seen receiving chordae tendineae from posterior musculi papillaris (a), the smaller from the anterior (b). (the smaller orifice appears much larger than in the fresh condition, the valve having been necessarily stretched in the process of preserving the specimen.)"
from Greenfield, 1876
