They prevent the valves from inverting or prolapsing into the atria when the ventricles contract, thereby maintaining proper blood flow and preventing backflow.

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.
