What are the muscular protrusions of the heart called?
Papillary muscles
Small muscle masses that function to regulate the atrioventricular valves?
These small muscles are called papillary muscles. There are five total papillary muscles in the heart, three in the right ventricle and two in the left.
What happens if the papillary muscles fail to contract?
If the papillary muscles fail to contract the valves will prolapse. The papillary muscles are located in the ventricles and contract to prevent prolapse.
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 are fingerlike muscular projections from the ventricles?
papillary muscles
What are the muscular protrusions of the heart called?
Papillary muscles
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.
Are the chordae tendinae and papillary muscles in a pig's heart?

What is connected to the chordae tendineae?
The papillary muscles and cusps of the heart valves.
Small muscle masses that function to regulate the atrioventricular valves?
These small muscles are called papillary muscles. There are five total papillary muscles in the heart, three in the right ventricle and two in the left.
What is the role of papillary muscle?
The papillary muscles are muscles located in the ventricles of the heart. The role of the papillary muscle is to prevent inversion or prolapse or the atrioventricular valves.
What do the heartstrings do?
They connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart.
What are all the cardiac muscles?
The cardiac muscle is the heart (myocardium). Although inside the heart there are smaller muscles that are attached to the flaps of the valves called the Papillary muscles.
What muscle is attached to the chordae tendineae?
papillary muscles
What papillary muscle surrounds the pericardial sac?
There are papillary muscles IN the ventricles of the heart which keep the tricuspid and the mitral valves (AV valves) closed.
What is tendieae?
i think you mean chordae tendineae, they connect the papillary muscles to the heart valves
What happens if the papillary muscles fail to contract?
If the papillary muscles fail to contract the valves will prolapse. The papillary muscles are located in the ventricles and contract to prevent prolapse.
