Surface projections of the normally positioned organs of the trunk. Situs solitus (from Latin 'usual site') is the medical term referring to the normal position of thoracic and abdominal organs. Anatomically , this means that the heart is on the left with the pulmonary atrium on the right and the systemic atrium on the left along with the ...
The heart is a muscular organ situated in the mediastinum.It consists of four chambers, four valves, two main arteries (the coronary arteries), and the conduction system. The left and right sides of the heart have different functions: the right side receives de-oxygenated blood through the superior and inferior venae cavae and pumps blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery, and the left ...
Surface projections of the major organs of the trunk, using the vertebral column and rib cage as main reference points of surface anatomy. Surface anatomy (also called superficial anatomy and visual anatomy) is the study of the external features of the body of an animal. [1] In birds, this is termed topography.

Surface projections of the major organs of the trunk, using the vertebral column and rib cage as main reference points of surface anatomy. The transpyloric plane is given near center. The transverse thoracic plane. Plane through T4 & T5 vertebral junction and sternal angle of Louis. Marks the:
Behind the crest (crista terminalis) of the right atrium the internal surface is smooth. [1] Pectinate muscles make up the part of the wall in front of this, the right atrial appendage. [citation needed] In the left atrium, the pectinate muscles are confined to the inner surface of its atrial appendage. [1]
The right coronary sulcus begins anteriorly and superiorly on the sternocostal surface of the heart. Its position is marked by the location of the right coronary artery , and small cardiac vein . The right coronary sulcus separates the right atrium and its atrial appendage from the right ventricle inferiorly.
