papillary muscles
yes
The heart valves are attached to the chordae tendinae and papillary muscles which function to open the valves.
Chordae tendinae is attached to papillary muscle and the valves.
The chordae tendinae are composed of dense connective tissue called collagen. This collagen tissue provides strength and stability to the chordae tendinae, which are fibrous cords that connect the valves of the heart to the papillary muscles in the ventricles.
The chordae tendinae and their attachments to the papillary muscles prevent the AV valves from collapsing backwards into the atria.
The papillary muscles and the chordae tendinae work to prevent prolapse of the AV valves. This prevents backflow of blood in the heart.
Chordae tendinae left ventricle damage may result in severe consequences. These include Mitral valve prolapses, mitral regurgitation, bicuspid prolapse and bicuspid regurgitation.
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.
The chordae tendinae is situated in the heart. They control the valves which pumps blood through the heart
Pitted to allow expandibility. Folds of the "pits" are where papillary muscles arise that are used as attachment points for the chordae tendinae that control the A-V valves.
These tendons are anchored to the wall of the ventricle by chordae tendinease, which prevent the valve from inverting. The chordae tendinae are attached to papillary muscles that cause tension to better hold the valve.
