What else can I help you with?
What are the wrinkled flaps that hang off the atria called?
The Auricle
Flaps of connective tissue called valves are located between the atria and the ventricles?
TRUE
What is the function of the chords attached to the valve flaps between the atria and the ventricle?
These chords are called the Chordea Tendinae. Their function is to stop the valves from invertung back into the atria. If they weeken and stretch they start to allow the valves to be pushed back into the atria, this is called floppy valve syndrome.
What are threads that attach the valve flaps to the ventricle walls called?
The threads that attach the valve flaps to the ventricle walls are called chordae tendineae. These fibrous cords help to prevent the valve flaps from prolapsing or collapsing back into the atria during the contraction of the ventricles.
What are the flaps in the dryer called?
. . . flaps!
What are the the tiny white cords that anchor the cusps or flaps of endocardium to the walls of the ventricles called?
The tiny white cords that anchor the cusps or flaps of endocardium to the walls of the ventricles are called chordae tendineae. These cord-like structures help prevent the cusps of the heart valves from prolapsing into the atria when the heart contracts.
Do the flaps of the aortic valve close when the ventricles squeeze so blood can't flow back into the atrium?
No. When the flaps of the aortic valve close, they prevent the flow of blood into the ventricle. The flaps of the atrioventricular valves close to prevent the flow of blood back into the atria.
What is the flap on an aircraft wing called?
The flaps are simply called flaps.
What are the top two chambers of the heart called?
The Atria and Atrium
What are the thinned walled chambers in the heart called?
These are the atria - there are two in the heart.
What tiny animal climbs on trees and has flaps of skin between their front and back legs?
Sugar Gliders are small marsupial animals that are usually found in Australia and surrounding islands. They have flaps of skin between their front and back legs, allowing them to briefly glide between one tree and another in their search of food, mates, and shelter.
The upper chambers of the heart are called what?
The left and right atrium (or atria).
