Arteriosus

Ductus, a passage conveying the blood from one artery to another; also called canalis, and canaliculus arteriosus. This, in the foetus, arises from the extremity of the arteria pulmonalis, just where it is going to give off the two branches, and opens by its other end into the beginning of the descending aorta, just below the great curvature. In the adult it is obliterated; but in the foetus it is open, and conveys the blood, which hath no passage, or a very slight one, through the lungs in this state, from the pulmonary artery to the aorta.

The root when fresh has an extremely acrimonious biting taste, which it loses almost entirely on being dried; it is recommended chiefly in cataplasms, for scirrhous and scrofulous tumours, and chilblains, though internally it proves cathartic and emmenagogue. It operates slowly, and with great virulence, inflaming the fauces and intestines: one drachm of the powder purges, and often destroys worms.
