The chordae tendineae, or heart strings, are cord like structures that connect the Mitral and tricuspid valve to the papillary muscles. The functions of chordae tendineae are: 1) bring the right ventricular walls closer together during contraction. 2) pull the semilunar valves open to allow ventricular ejection.
The main function of tendons is to enable free and flexible movement in the body. Running, jumping, walking, lifting, dancing and other similar physical activities are made possible by tendons. The length of tendons is usually decided by the genetics and the muscle size is dictated by the tendons.endons are the main connective tissues which hold the whole skeletal frame together. In tandem with muscles and ligaments tendons help in the mechanics of movement and provide form and function to our body.
