The term annulus fibrous is still used in anatomical and clinical terminology but does not exist in anatomical nomenclature. This structure is proposed as an anatomical substrate for circus movement of excitation. Multiple cardiac damage after blunt chest trauma is rare, but usually affects the septal part of the right fibrous annulus. Histological observation confirms the results of our previous macroscopic study and shows that the most stable part of fibrous annulus is the septal part and the region of anterior angle of the right ventricle, and the most labile parts are the lateral and posterior angles of the right ventricle and the posterior part of the fibrous annulus. Our histological study shows that the right fibrous annulus is a heterogeneous structure and may play a role in changes of shape of the right atrio-ventricular ostium during human life.
