What is the role of papillary muscle?
The papillary muscles are muscles located in the ventricles of the heart. The role of the papillary muscle is to prevent inversion or prolapse or the atrioventricular valves.
What happens if the papillary muscles fail to contract?
If the papillary muscles fail to contract the valves will prolapse. The papillary muscles are located in the ventricles and contract to prevent prolapse.
What are the structures that prevent prolapse of atrioventricular valves?
contraction of the papillary muscles
What is the body's normal response to injury?
Inflamation is the body's normal response to injury. (:
How can reflex prevent injury?
describe how a reflex can prevent injury
What do you call a localized response to an injury or destruction of tissue?
Inflammation is the localized response to an injury or tissue destruction. Inflammatory Response inflammation infection, acute inflammation, cachexia
Do papillary muscles prevent the AV valves from prolapsing excessively into the atria when the ventricles contract?
Papillary muscles are connected to the chordae tendonae on the AV valves. During ventricular systole ( contraction of the ventricles) the papillary muscles contract preventing regurgitation of blood back into the atriums.
What is the body's response to injuries?
Inflamation is the body's normal response to injury. (:
What the function of papillary muscle?
Contraction of the papillary muscles prevents the cusps of the tricuspid valve from being everted into the right atrium during ventricular contraction.
Name the structure between the left atrioventricular valve and the papillary muscle?
The chordae tendineae connect the AV valve and the papillary muscle. These structures work together to prevent backflow from the ventricle to the atrium.
What device is designed to prevent injury from rotating machinery?
A guard is a device designed to prevent injury from rotating machinery.
What is the specific response of the body to injury?
Pain
