A section through the aortic semilunar valve.

Observe:
1. The conus septum separating the aortic semilunar valve from the infundibulum of the right ventricle.
2. The cranial edge of the pleural cavity on the right between the rib and superior vena cava.
3. The aorta to the left of the esophagus.
4. The phrenic nerve dorsolateral to the pericardial cavity and the vagus nerve lateral to the trachea.
5. The elbow joint area between the humerus and ulna.
