5 . Chorda tendinea
6 . Septal (medial) cusp of tricuspid valve
7 . Posterior cusp tricuspid valve
8 . Membranous part interventricular septum
9 . Atrioventricular septum
10 . Posterior semilunar cusp (aortic valve)
11 . Upper pointer: Anulus fibrosus (sectioned) Lower pointer: Cut wall of conus arteriosus
12 . Anterior cusp of mitral valve
13 . Muscular part interventricular septum
14 . Chordae tendineae
