[su_carousel source=”media: 5367,5368″ limit=”27″ width=”720″ height=”540″ responsive=”no” items=”1″ title=”no” centered=”no” mousewheel=”no”] The left panel shows a posterior view of an opened left atrial chamber and the pulmonary veins connecting to a posterior chamber. The yellow dashed arrow illustrates the path of the pulmonary venous drainage from the posterior chamber to the left atrial vestibule. The opened mitral valve guards the left atrioventricular junction. In the right panel this postero-superior view shows the partition dividing the posterior left atrial chamber from the atrial vestibule. The pulmonary veins drain into the atrial vestibule via a small opening (yellow dots) in the floor of the partition that divides the left atrium.
