 ficial muscles are dissected off, there is left a great central core of muscle, 

 which is described by MacCallum as running more transversely around the

 Muscle of the Left Ventricle, which is shown in outline. The deepest layer is also shown.

The Valves of the Heart. The valves of the heart are arranged so 

 that the blood can pass only in one direction. These are the tricuspid
