chordae tendineae
The structures that prevent prolapse of atrioventricular valves include the chordae tendineae, papillary muscles, and annulus fibrosus. Chordae tendineae are fibrous strands that connect the valve leaflets to the papillary muscles, which are located in the ventricular walls. The annulus fibrosus is a band of connective tissue that surrounds the valve orifice to help maintain its shape and prevent it from prolapsing.
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.
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 ropelike structures at the base of the tricuspid and aortic valves are called chordae tendineae. They are cord-like tendons that connect the valve cusps to the papillary muscles in the heart. These structures help to prevent the valves from prolapsing or regurgitating when the heart contracts.
The cusps of atrioventricular valves attach directly to the papillary muscles via chordae tendineae, which are fibrous strings that help to prevent the valves from flipping inside out during ventricular contraction. This structural arrangement ensures proper valve function and prevents regurgitation of blood back into the atria.
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.

chordae tendineae
These tendons are anchored to the wall of the ventricle by chordae tendinease, which prevent the valve from inverting. The chordae tendinae are attached to papillary muscles that cause tension to better hold the valve.

The papillary muscles and the chordae tendinae work to prevent prolapse of the AV valves. This prevents backflow of blood in the heart.
The tendon chords are called chordae tendinae and they attach the tricuspid (right AV) and mitral (left AV) valves to muscles called papillary muscles, which are attached to the ventricular wall muscles. When the ventricle contracts, the papillary muscles also contract, pulling the valves closed and preventing the backwards flow of blood into the atria.
The right ventricle of the heart typically contains three papillary muscles: anterior, posterior, and septal. These muscles attach to the tricuspid valve leaflets via chordae tendineae to help prevent valve regurgitation.

cardiac muscle. a type of cardiac muscle is the papillary muscles attach to the lower portion of the interior wall of the ventricles. They connect to the chordae tendineae, which attach to the tricuspid valve in the right ventricle and the mitral valve in the left ventricle. The contraction of the papillary muscles opens these valves. When the papillary muscles relax, the valves close.
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.
