tendonlike, fibrous cords that connect the heart valves with the papillary muscles
Fibrous chords which serve as guy ropes to hold the mitral and tricuspid valves secure when the ventricles contract. They stretch from the cusps of the valves to muscles called papillary muscles in the walls of the ventricle.
Fibrous cords that stabilize the position of the AV valves in the heart, preventing backflow during ventricular systole.
Tendinous strands running from edges of the cusps of the atrioventricular valves into ventricular muscle; prevent reflux of valves.
The fine fibrous chords (tendons) that bind the free edges of the atrio ventricular valves (the mitral valve and the tricuspid valve) to the papillary muscles. They restrict how far the valve leaflets swing when they close, preventing the valve tissue from flailing backwards and leaking.
The chordae tendinae are cord-like tendons that connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart.
