![323. The valves of the aorta slightly ossified; with dilatation and ossification of the aorta itself. One of the coronary arteries is also ossified to a con- siderable extent from its origin. 324. Part of the arch of the aorta much ossified, and somewhat dilated at the origin of the carotid and subclavian arteries. 325. The ascending aorta, the curvature, and descending aorta ossified; and the inner membrane raised in irregular patches, by a deposition of soft matter between it and the middle coat. 326. A portion of the superior part of the aorta descendens much ossified. 327- The descending aorta much ossified. 328. The descending aorta ossified, in which some of the ossified parts are broken. The coats of the artery are partially separated, to show an ossific deposit mixed with soft matter between the inner and middle coats. 329. The aorta above its bifurcation, much ossified. From a military officer. 330. The aorta much ossified at its bifurcation. 331. The aorta at its bifurcation partially ossified. [There is a deposit of athe- romatous matter between its internal and middle coat. One of the iliacs is nearly obliterated by a considerable deposition of similar matter.] 332. Arteries of the brain ossified. 3. Progress of Ossification in Arteries. 333. Part of the aorta in a state of incipient ossification. It was steeped in an acid without any effervescence taking place; so that this white appear- ance precedes the deposit of earthy matter. 334. A small portion of the iliac artery of a general officer, ossified. The in- ternal coat is separated and turned down, showing that the ossific pro- cess begins in it. 335. A portion of the iliac artery of the same individual, ossified. Part of the inner coat is separated and turned back, to show that the ossification is confined to that coat. 336. Two portions of artery, from the same individual as the two preceding preparations, showing the same circumstance. 337. Portion of an ossified artery, in which the coats are separated from each other, to show that the ossification is in the internal coat.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2200662x_0001_0041.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
