The are cord-like
Tendon s that connect the
Papillary Muscle s to the
Tricuspid Valve and the
Mitral Valve in the
Heart .
When the right
Ventricle of the heart contracts, the
Blood Pressure pushes the tricuspid valve which closes and prevents a backflow of blood into the right
Atrium . The chordae tendineae prevents the flaps from being reverted into the right atrium. Similarly, these cord-like tendons hold in position other flaps like the bicuspid or
Mitral Valve .
