What do the tendons do that stretch between the atrioventricular valves and the ventricle wall?
Wiki User

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.

Do ligaments and tendons stretch?
Tendons do flex.
What holds the atrioventricular valves in place?
The atrioventricular valves are held in place by the chordea tendeae. These tendons are chord like structures that stiffen to close the valve.
What happens when ligaments or tendons stretch?
ligaments and tendons shorten and becomes less flexible with age
What would happen if tendons stretch?
you would die
What valve separates the upper and lower chamber of the heart?
There are 4 heart chambers. The two upper chambers are called atria while the two lower chambers are called ventricles. The valve separating the atria from the ventricles is called the atrioventricular valve. Then you would have your right and left atrioventricular valves.
What is the root word of the word tendons?

Why do tendons hardly stretch at all when a muscle contracts?
Tendons arent made to stretch.Their purpose is to connect the muscle to the bone.If stretched,the tendon might tear.Same goes for ligaments.You stretch your muscles!
The atrioventricular valves hAVe muscles and tendons associated with them. Name and describe the muscles and tendons and how they function to assist the AV valves?
The tendon chords are called chordae tendinae and they attach the tricuspid (right AV) and mitral (left AV) valves to muscles called papillary muscles, which are attached to the ventricular wall muscles. When the ventricle contracts, the papillary muscles also contract, pulling the valves closed and preventing the backwards flow of blood into the atria.
How do engineers using hydraulic tendons in buildings?
During construction, engineers insert steel tendons through the floor or wall. Then they stretch these tendons by using hydraulic jacks. This process makes the structure stronger.
What structure detects the amount of stretch or tension in skeletal muscles tendons and joint's?

Your tendons have become fixed due to your dissabilty you have been told you need to stretch them what nexercises can you do?
YOGA
Why do tendons need to be quite strong?
AnswerTendons attach bone to muscles. Ligaments attach bone to bone. :) If tendons do not stretch I believe the muscle would tear!do you mean if tendons do stretch
