What is the role of papillary muscle?
Papillary muscles in the heart are responsible for anchoring the chordae tendineae, which are fibrous cords that attach to the heart valves (mitral and tricuspid). Their main role is to prevent the valves from prolapsing into the atria during ventricular contraction and to ensure proper valve closure, which helps maintain efficient blood flow through the heart.
What is the most common cause of papillary muscle dysfunction?
The most common cause of papillary muscle dysfunction is coronary artery disease, which can lead to myocardial infarction (heart attack) and damage to the papillary muscles. This can result in mitral valve regurgitation due to insufficient closure of the mitral valve leaflets.
What is the difference between sarcolemma and endomysium in muscle tissue structure?
The sarcolemma is the cell membrane of a muscle fiber, while the endomysium is the connective tissue that surrounds individual muscle fibers within a muscle.
What is the difference between a myofibril and a myocyte in muscle structure and function?
A myofibril is a thread-like structure within a muscle cell that contains the proteins responsible for muscle contraction. A myocyte, on the other hand, is the actual muscle cell that contains multiple myofibrils. In summary, myofibrils are the components within a myocyte that enable muscle contraction.
What is the structure that connects a muscle to a bone called?
The structure that connects a muscle to a bone is called a tendon.
Name the structure found between the atrioventricular valve and the papillary muscle?
interventricular septum
What prevents the atrioventricular valve from being pushed into the artium when the ventricle contracts?
The papillary muscle.
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.
Structure from which chordae tendineae originate?
Chordae tendinae is attached to papillary muscle and the valves.

What muscle is attached to the chordae tendineae?
papillary muscles
Does the papillary muscle surround the pericardial sac?
No
What is the muscle that attached to chordae tendinae?
papillary muscles
Where are the papillary muscle?
inside the left and right ventricle
Is the papillary muscle only present on the left side of the heart?
no.
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 are the small muscle masses attached to the chordae tendineae?
papillary muscles
