What are the cords that hold the two heart valves in place?
Chordae Tendineae
What is connected to the chordae tendineae?
The papillary muscles and cusps of the heart valves.
What is tendieae?
i think you mean chordae tendineae, they connect the papillary muscles to the heart valves
What is the medical term meaning fibers that open and close heart valves?
chordae tendineae
Structure from which chordae tendineae originate?
Chordae tendinae is attached to papillary muscle and the valves.
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
Function of heart strings?
They connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart. also i like bananas :)
What might be the significance or nonfunctional or defective chordae tendineae?
The chordae tendineae keep the tricuspid and bicuspid valves from compressing past the point of closure when the ventricles contract. If the chordae tendineae were not functioning properly, the pressure from ventricular contraction would force the valve to open into the atrium and cause backward flow of blood. In summary, blood would flow the wrong direction, decreasing the heart's effectiveness.
What might be the significant of nonfunctional or defective chordae tendineae?

If the chordae tendineae were not functioning properly, the pressure from ventricular contraction would force the valve to open into the atrium and cause backward flow of blood. In summary, blood would flow the wrong direction, decreasing the heart's effectiveness.
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 happens if the chordae tendineae is nonfunctional or defective?
the valve would fail to close or would invert when the heart contracts, this may cause heart failure.
Which heart vales are chorde tendineae connected?
The chordae tendinae are connected to the atrioventricular valves. These are the valves that separate the atrium from the ventricle on each side of the heart.
