chordae

chordae tendinae prevents the flap of the valves , especially in left ventricle chamber that have

exactly high pressure ( 120 mmhg in left ventricle systole ) but why aortic semilunar valves does's

have it ?

i suspect because at the proximal aortic artery , presusure is about 120 mmHg nearly to left ventricle chamber that can make the regurgtation of the valves (although aortic a. has elastic recoil releaving pressure , it still high )

Singular Vs. Plural

The term "chordae tendineae" is the plural of something, but what? How does one refer to a single "heartstring"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mark D Hardy (talk • contribs) 23:08, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct. chordae tendineae is plural. The singular form of the word according to Merriam Webster's online dictionary is chordae tendinea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bioprofsd (talk • contribs) 01:40, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the referral to Merriam-Webster. However, it states that the singular form is chorda tendinea. Mark D Hardy (talk) 16:33, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
