    Figure I. Represents the Coronary Arteries of the Heart, or Cardiac Arteries, upon the Anterior surface of the Heart. A—Trunk of the vena cava superior, cut. B—Right sinus. C—Right auricle. D—Pulmonary ventricle. E—Arterial cone, with the pulmonary artery divided, that the origins of the cardiac ar- teries may be better seen. F—Left sinus. G—Left auricle. H—Left pulmonary veins. I—Aortic ventricle. K—Trunk of the aorta. a—Right anterior or inferior coronary artery of the heart, escaping from the aorta, and running in the hollow between the base of the pulmonary ventricle and right sinus. b—~Left posterior or superior coronary artery of the heart arising from the aorta between the pulmonary artery and left auricle of the heart. 1.1.1. —Branches proceeding from the right coro- nary artery to the sinus of the venae cavae. 2.2.2. —Branches running to the right ventricle. *—Continuation of the right coronary artery upon the posterior surface. 3,3.—Branches of the left coronary artery to the left ventricle. 4, 4, 4.—Great anterior branch running in a winding manner in the hollow between each ventricle to the apex of the heart, and then reflected between the apices of both ventricle's to the inferior surface of 5.—Tortuous branch proceeding to the poste- rior surface of the heart. Figure II. Represents the Cardiac Arteries upon the Posterior surface of the Heart. A—Right sinus. B—Mouth of the vena cava inferior. C—Trunk of the great coronary vein terminat- ing in the right sinus. D—Left sinus. E—Left auricle. FG—Right pulmonary veins. HI—Left pulmonary veins. K. K.—Pulmonary ventricle, L L—Aortic ventricle. 1. —Posterior circumflex branch of the right coronary artery of the heart. 2. —Small twig to the right sinus. 3. 3, 3, 3.—A branch descending between each ventricle, and giving branches to the pos- terior surface of the ventricles. 4. -—A branch of the left coronary artery re- flected between the apices of the ventricles, and entering into anastomosis with the descending branch. 5. —Continuation of the posterior circumflex branch. 6. —Small twig to the right sinus. 7. 7-—Twigs running to the left ventricle. 8,8.—Small branches proceeding to the left sinus. 9.—Posterior anastomosing circumflex branch of the left coronary artery. 10.10. —Small reflected branch of the right sinus.
