Are the anchors of the atrioventricular valves?
To ensure that the AV valves do not evert (turn inside-out), they are attached to (anchored by) small papillary muscles by tough tendons called the cordae tendineae or chordae tendineae cordis.

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

Tendons are the structures that prevents valves from turning inside-out.

What is the function of venous valves?
Valves aid in venous return by preventing the back flow of blood.
What is the function of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles of the bicuspid and tricuspid valves?
The tendinous cords are located in the ventricles. The function of the tendinous cords that are attached to the bicuspid and tricuspid valves is to connect the atrio-ventricular valves to the papillary muscles.
