A valve
heart valves
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.
The chordae tendineae, also known as the heart strings, are fibrous tendons that anchor the heart valves in place and prevent them from turning inside out during the cardiac cycle. These tendons are connected to the papillary muscles in the heart to ensure proper valve function.
In the heart/arteries, the Aortic valve prevents blood from flowing backwards. In the systemic veins, eustachean valves prevent the backwards flow of blood.
It prevents the blood already in the aorta from going back into the heart.
It has a similar shape, structure, chambers and valves.
The valves in the veins
The chordae tendineae are also known as the "heart strings." They are fibrous cords that connect the papillary muscles to the atrioventricular valves (mitral and tricuspid valves) in the heart. These structures play a crucial role in preventing the valves from inverting or prolapsing during ventricular contraction, ensuring proper blood flow through the heart.

The semilunar valves prevent backflow into the ventricles. The pulmonary semilunar valve prevents backflow in the right ventricle, and the aortic semilunar valve prevents backflow of blood in the left ventricle.
Valves. There are four in the heart and the rest of the valves are dispersed throughout the body. They function as muscles around the blood vessel contract to move the blood.
