Heart valves are held in place by structures called chordae tendineae, which are thin, string-like tendons that connect the valve leaflets to papillary muscles. These papillary muscles are located within the ventricles of the heart and contract to keep the valves closed during ventricular contraction, preventing backflow of blood. This system ensures that the heart valves function properly, maintaining unidirectional blood flow.
What else can I help you with?
What are the cords that hold the two heart valves in place?
Chordae Tendineae
What do you call the strings that hold the heart together?
The strings that hold the heart together are called chordae tendineae. They are fibrous cords that attach the valves of the heart to the muscles inside the heart wall, helping to regulate blood flow and prevent backflow of blood.
What is heart string?
Hold the valves to inner walls of ventricles
What is the role of the chordea tendineae?
The role of the chordae tendinae (or heart strings) hold the positions of the flaps from the valves (tricuspid and the bicuspid/mitral valve) they basically help with preventing the backward flow of blood. The tendinae are attached to the valves and the papillary muscles :)
How is the heart held in place?
The heart is held in place by the pericardium, a double-walled sac that surrounds the heart and anchors it within the chest cavity. The pericardium also helps protect the heart and keeps it from moving around too much during physical activity. Additionally, the heart is supported by ligaments and muscles within the chest cavity.
What holds the two valves together in a clam?
The clam does. Clams and other bivalves have very strong muscles that hold the shells tightly closed whenever they're in danger.
Can I use air to change keepers?
Yes you can use air to hold valves up in place while you change keepers.
What holds the kidneys in place?
your ribs ^^ Actually, it's your adipose tissue that is holding the kidneys in place. The kidneys are below the ribs.
Explain the factors that enable blood in your leg veins to return to the heart in spite of the downward pull of gravity?
In the circulatory system, veins, the vessels responsible for returning blood to the heart have valves that open to let blood flow through and shut to hold it against the downward pull of gravity.
What should you do if your eye falls out?
Actually, this shouldn't happen. There are muscles and ligaments which hold it in place. But if it comes out of its socket, you should get to a doctor immediately.
What is the strings that hold the AV valves open?

Importance of muscles?
