Question

Chordae tendineae are the tendons that connect______with the cardiac muscles.

• A. The mitral valve separates the left atrium from the left ventricle
• B. The tricuspid valve divides the right atrium from the right ventricle
• C. Aortic and pulmonary valves control the flow of blood into the heart
• D. The pulmonary valves are supported by chordae tendineae so that the regurgitation of blood into the atria during ventricular contraction does not occur

Answer 1

The correct option is B

The tricuspid valve divides the right atrium from the right ventricle

Chordae tendineae are the tendons that connect tricuspid valve and mitral valve to the wall of ventricles. They prevent backflow of blood, from ventricles to atria, by keeping these valves in closed position.
