Why are the A-v valves in the heart connected to the muscles and tendons?

The valves are anchored by the tendons. That way when the blood flows through them, they don't move.

What are the tendons that connect the valves to the muslces?
The tendons that connect the valves to the muscles in the heart are known as chordae tendineae. They attach to the papillary muscles in the ventricles and help to prevent the valves from prolapsing or becoming too loose during contraction of the heart.
What is connected to the chordae tendineae?
The papillary muscles and cusps of the heart valves.
How muscle are connected to the bone?
Only skeletal muscles are connected to bones. They don't attach directly to the bones, but are attached by tendons that emerge at the ends of the muscle groups or individual muscles. Smooth muscles are organ muscles, and cardiac muscle is specialized conductive muscle of the heart. Answer courtesy of gallop
What two ways are smooth muscles and heart muscles different from skeletal muscles?
cardiac and smooth muscles are involuntary skeletal muscles are voluntary. smooths muscles are in you intestine and digestive tract usually cardiac muscles are in your heart skeletal muscles are connected to tendons and ligaments
What are muscles connected to bones by?
that is an enormously vague and unhelpful question. there are many muscles in the body. Skeletal muscles attach to bones Smooth (invoulentary) muscles generally attatch to and originate in tissues Cardiac (heart) muscle is contained within the heart. These are the three types of muscle in the body. Some common examples: biceps brachii muscle: scapula and radius pectoralis major muscle: ribs, clavicle, sternum and humerus.
Are cardia muscles connected to bones?
Cardiac or 'heart' muscles are no connected to bones.
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.
What are the organs that involve the circulation?
heart -Heart -Lungs -Muscles -valves
How many papillary muscles are there in the heart?
Papillary muscles are found in the heart's ventricles. They control the AV valves.
What are equiped with the chordae tendinea and papillary muscles?
The heart valves are attached to the chordae tendinae and papillary muscles which function to open the valves.
Is all muscle is connected in the bone?
No, there are some muscles that are not connected to any bones. These include such muscles as the heart, and the lip muscles.
What are the organs involved in?
-Heart -Lungs -Muscles -valves bea
