MOTION OF THE HEART AND BLOOD 



and the left ventricle filled with thick clotted blood, 

 they were forced to say that blood oozed through the 

 septum of the heart from the right ventricle to the 

 left. I have already refuted this notion. A new path 

 is to be found and described. This done, I believe 

 there will be no more difficulty in agreeing with what 

 I suggest about the beat of the heart and arteries, 

 the transfer of blood from veins to arteries and its 

 distribution to the body through the arteries. 



calls the vessel the "pulmonary artery," and every editor of the trans- 

 lation has passed it by, when the context alone should raise a doubt. 

 The text reads arteriam venosanty the artery like unto a vein, or the 

 pulmonary vein.
