What muscle is attached to the chordae tendineae?
papillary muscles
The cusps of atrioventricular valves are attached to papillary muscles by the?
chordae tendineae
What is connected to the chordae tendineae?
The papillary muscles and cusps of the heart valves.
What are the small muscle masses attached to the chordae tendineae?
papillary muscles
What structures anchor the atrioventricular valves to the papillary muscles of the ventricle walls?
chordae tendineae
What is tendieae?
i think you mean chordae tendineae, they connect the papillary muscles to the heart valves
Are the papillary muscles and chordae tendineae in the right ventricle also present in the left ventricle?
yes
What is the function of the chordae tendineae and the papillary muscles?
The chordae tendinae bring the right ventricular walls closer together, pull semilunar and AV valves open and prevent ballooning of AV valves. The papillary muscles help in the closure and opening of mitral and tricuspid valves.
What structures works to prevent prolapse of the atrioventricular valves?
The papillary muscles and the chordae tendinae work to prevent prolapse of the AV valves. This prevents backflow of blood in the heart.
Are the anchors of the atrioventricular valves?
To ensure that the AV valves do not evert (turn inside-out), they are attached to (anchored by) small papillary muscles by tough tendons called the cordae tendineae or chordae tendineae cordis.
Chordae tendineae are associated with which structure(s)?
Chordae tendineae are associated with the heart, specifically with the atrioventricular valves (tricuspid and mitral valves). They are fibrous cords that attach the valves to the papillary muscles in order to prevent the valves from inverting into the atria during ventricular contraction.
What valve of the heart has three valves with chordae tendineae?
No, only the atrio ventricular, or the the tricuspid and bicuspid valves, have heart strings
