When the right ventricle contracts, the tendinous cords, also known as chordae tendineae, tighten. This tightening helps to keep the tricuspid valve leaflets closed, preventing backflow of blood into the right atrium. As a result, the tension in the chordae tendineae plays a crucial role in maintaining proper valve function during ventricular contraction.
