A conjoined heart observed in a two-headed stillborn female Japanese Black calf consisted of three atria, three ventricles, and three great vessels. The right-side morphological right atrium connected with right and left cerebral veins and one posterior cerebral vein. The median morphological right atrium was attached to no vein; the left-positioned anatomical left atrium connected with the pulmonary veins. Each atrium connected with its corresponding ventricle through an atrioventricular ostium. The right-side morphological right ventricle gave rise to a common arterial trunk of the bicarotid trunk of the right pulmonary artery and the right side of the head. The anteriorly positioned anatomic right ventricle had a pulmonary trunk; the left posterior-ly positioned morphologic left ventricle gave rise to the aorta.
