Fig. 18
On the left is the conotruncus as seen ventrally (45° from the right).
In the right image (at A) the truncus is cut away so that the semilunar valve level is visible. Dorsally lies the aorta with right, left and dorsal valves and ventrally lies the truncus pulmonalis with right, left and ventral (anterior) cushions.
