Intervenous tubercle
Projection in the heart

The intervenous tubercle (tubercle of Lower) is a small projection on the posterior wall of the right atrium, above the fossa ovalis.
It is distinct in the hearts of quadrupeds, but in man is scarcely visible.
It was supposed by Lower to direct the blood from the superior vena cava toward the atrioventricular opening.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Intervenous tubercle” is projection in the heart. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Intervenous, tubercle and Projection, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “projection in the heart” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 5, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q6057329. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
