To the alternate systole and diastole of the chambers, the first raising, the second lowering the pressure in the chambers. 2nd. To the action of the valves. 6. Action of the Valves of the Heart. A. Auriculo-ventricular (Fig. 115).--These valves have already been described as funnel-like prolongations of the auricles into the ventricles. They are firmly held down in the ventricular cavity by the chorda tendineae. When the ventricle contracts the papillary muscles pull the cusps of the valves together and thus occlude the opening between auricles and ventricles. The cusps are further pressed face to face by the increasing pressure in the ventricles, and they may become convex towards the auricles. They thus form a central core around and upon which the ventricles contract. On the-left side of the heart the strong anterior cusp of the mitral valve does not materially shift its position.

The posterior cusp is pulled forwards against the anterior. On ...
