Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tricuspid valve and mitral valve are both atrioventricular valves and have chordae tendineae attached to their leaflets. The chordae tendineae are connective tissue fibers that attach the leaflets to the papillary muscles in the ventricles, preventing the valves from prolapsing or inverting into the atria during ventricular contraction.
