Chordae tendineae6

• The chordae tendineae are attached to papillary muscles that cause tension to better hold the valve. (wikipedia.org)
• These valves do not have chordae tendineae, and are more similar to the valves in veins than they are to the atrioventricular valves. (wikipedia.org)
• They are moored to the dividers of the ventricles by chordae tendineae, which keep the valves from rearranging. (vedantu.com)
• The chordae tendineae are joined to papillary muscles that cause strain to raise the valve. (vedantu.com)
• Papillary muscles arise more superiorly on the ventricular wall with thickened and shortened chordae tendineae, the characteristic rolled-free edge of mitral leaflets. (medscape.com)
• thus, the papillary muscles exert an undesirable lateral traction on the chordae tendineae and mitral cusps, leading to faulty leaflet opposition. (medscape.com)

• The bicuspid valve is the name of the mitral valves. (vedantu.com)

Tricuspid valve4

• The four valves in the mammalian heart are two atrioventricular valves separating the upper atria from the lower ventricles - the mitral valve in the left heart, and the tricuspid valve in the right heart. (wikipedia.org)
• The atrioventricular valves are the mitral valve, and the tricuspid valve, which are situated between the atria and the ventricles, and prevent backflow from the ventricles into the atria during systole. (wikipedia.org)

Keep the valves2

• The function of the subvalvular apparatus is to keep the valves from prolapsing into the atria when they close. (wikipedia.org)
• Subavular valves keep the valves from imploding. (vedantu.com)

Systolic1

• The peculiar insertion of chords on the leaflet free margin, however, provides systolic stress sharing between chords according to their different thickness. (wikipedia.org)

Diastole1

• During diastole, a normally-functioning mitral valve opens as a result of increased pressure from the left atrium as it fills with blood (preloading). (wikipedia.org)

Cardiac1

Atrial2

• As atrial pressure increases above that of the left ventricle, the mitral valve opens. (wikipedia.org)
• This amount of blood is known as the end diastolic volume (EDV), and the mitral valve closes at the end of atrial contraction to prevent a reversal of blood flow. (wikipedia.org)
