The chordae tendinae are fibrous bands of tissue extending from the papillary muscles in the ventricles to the cusps of the AV valves (tricuspid and mitral). They serve to prevent the leaves of the valves from being pushed into the atria during ventricular contraction, preventing backward flow of blood in the heart.

What is the Difference between top two heart chambers from the bottom?
The difference between the two sides of the heart starts with their different functions. The larger, more-muscular left side has the job of pumping blood all over the body to take oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues. The smaller, less-powerful right side is responsible for pumping blood only to the lungs. The blood in the left side of the heart has a higher oxygen content because it has just returned from the lungs. Conversely, the blood in the right side of the heart has a lower oxygen content because it just returned from delivering that oxygen to all the tissues of the body. The body is also known for life and life is very important because of DICKS

What is the name of the cone-shaped muscular pillars in the ventricles?
The cone-shaped muscular pillars in the ventricles are called papillary muscles. These muscles help anchor the chordae tendineae, which are thin bands that connect the papillary muscles to the heart valves (mitral and tricuspid valves) to prevent them from prolapsing back into the atria during contraction.
What do the chordate tendonae do?
Chordae tendineae: Thread-like bands of fibrous tissue which attach on one end to the edges of the tricuspid and mitral valves of the heart and on the other end to the papillary muscles, small muscles within the heart that serve to anchor the valves.

What is thick bands of connective tissue called?
Thick bands of tissue attached to muscle are called tendons.
What are the bands of connective tissue found at ankle and wrist that help anchor muscle tendons?
At the ankle, the bands of connective tissue that help anchor muscle tendons are known as the retinaculum. At the wrist, the bands of connective tissue that serve a similar function are called the flexor and extensor retinaculum. These structures assist in holding tendons in place and provide stability during movement.

What are the fibrous bands that attach bone to bone called?
The ligaments are the bands of tissue that connect bones to each other. Ligaments are made up of connective tissue and are similar to tendons. The connective tissue that makes them up is tough, flexible and fibrous. They are made up of collagen fibres. Weight for weight they are as strong as steel wires. Tendons are also strong elastic bands of tissue, but they connect bones to muscle within a joint.
