Facies atrialis

Definition

The atrial surface of the heart (facies atrialis) is the surface that shows the greatest part of the atria and the openings of the large veins. It is located on the right in domestic mammals and roughly corresponds to the diaphragmatic surface and the right border of the human heart.
