Interior of right ventricle of heart

Interior of right ventricle:
Internally it has two parts
1.     inflowing rough part due to trabeculae carneae  ( muscular ridges of the heart ) and
2.      outflowing smooth part also known as infundibulum. The two part are separated by a muscular ridge known as supraventricular crest.
The cavity of the right ventricle is crescent shape in cross section because the interventricular septum make a bulge toward the right ventricle.

Moderator band: (septomarginal trabeculum)
it is the unique features of the right ventricle , a thick muscular ridge extending from the ventricular septum to the base of the anterior papillary muscle. It conveys the right branch of the atrioventricular bundle (bundle of His) , a part of conducting system of the heart . 
Function : it prevent overdistension of heart 

Trabeculae carneae of right ventricle:
Three types of muscular projections are present in trabeculae carneae of right  ventricle.
They are
1.     Ridges : fixed muscular elevations
2.     Bridges : two ends are fixed with central free portion

3.     Papillary muscles of  right ventricle: are  three in number : anterior , posterior and septal.
