Chordae tendineae are associated with which structure(s)?
Chordae tendineae are associated with the heart, specifically with the atrioventricular valves (tricuspid and mitral valves). They are fibrous cords that attach the valves to the papillary muscles in order to prevent the valves from inverting into the atria during ventricular contraction.
What are the cords that hold the two heart valves in place?
Chordae Tendineae
What is connected to the chordae tendineae?
The papillary muscles and cusps of the heart valves.
What is tendieae?
i think you mean chordae tendineae, they connect the papillary muscles to the heart valves
What is the medical term meaning fibers that open and close heart valves?
chordae tendineae
What valve of the heart has three valves with chordae tendineae?
No, only the atrio ventricular, or the the tricuspid and bicuspid valves, have heart strings
Which heart vales are chorde tendineae connected?
The chordae tendinae are connected to the atrioventricular valves. These are the valves that separate the atrium from the ventricle on each side of the heart.
Structure from which chordae tendineae originate?
Chordae tendinae is attached to papillary muscle and the valves.
What structures works to prevent prolapse of the atrioventricular valves?
The papillary muscles and the chordae tendinae work to prevent prolapse of the AV valves. This prevents backflow of blood in the heart.
What is the function of the chordae tendineae and the papillary muscles?
The chordae tendineae are fibrous cords that connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid and mitral valves in the heart. They help prevent the valves from prolapsing into the atria during ventricular contraction. The papillary muscles contract to tense the chordae tendineae, which helps stabilize the valves and prevent backflow of blood.
Strings attached to AV cusps?
Strings or chordae tendineae are attached to the atrioventricular (AV) valve cusps within the heart. These structures help to anchor the valve leaflets in place and prevent them from prolapsing back into the atria during ventricular contraction. Dysfunction of the chordae tendineae can lead to regurgitation of blood flow across the valves.
What might be the significance or nonfunctional or defective chordae tendineae?
The chordae tendineae keep the tricuspid and bicuspid valves from compressing past the point of closure when the ventricles contract. If the chordae tendineae were not functioning properly, the pressure from ventricular contraction would force the valve to open into the atrium and cause backward flow of blood. In summary, blood would flow the wrong direction, decreasing the heart's effectiveness.
