Heart chamber wall defect, artwork
Heart anatomy. Artwork of a posterior (from behind) view of a normal heart, sectioned to show the internal anatomy. The red arrow shows the normal flow of blood from the left ventricle (at left)

Heart tendons, SEM
Heart strings. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the hearts chordae tendineae. These are delicate thread-like bands of fibrous tissue that attach the papillary muscles on the internal

Heart valve tendons, SEM
Heart valve tendons. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the chordae tendineae, tendons which attach the atrioventricular heart valves to their muscles

Artwork showing inside view of the right ventricle
Human heart. Illustration of the inside of the right ventricle of the heart. The heart contains four muscular chambers, 2 atria, and 2 ventricles which pump blood around the body

Coloured SEM of the mitral valve of a human heart
Mitral valve of heart. Coloured Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of the mitral valve of a healthy human heart. The mitral valve is one of the atrio- ventricular valves which channels the flow of

False-colour SEM of a portion of a cardiac valve
Heart valve. False-colour scanning electron micrograph of a portion of one of the atrioventricular valves of the heart: either the tricuspid or the mitral valve

"Chordae Tendineae: The Vital Heart Strings that Keep the Rhythm in Harmony" In the intricate world of heart chambers and sinus node, chordae tendineae play a crucial role. These delicate tendons, depicted beautifully in artwork C014 / 2030 and C014 / 2029, connect the heart chamber walls to its valves. They act as anchors, preventing valve flaps from reversing into the wrong chamber during each heartbeat. However, sometimes these vital strings face challenges. Heart chamber wall defects can disrupt their function and lead to complications. Studying them under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) reveals their fascinating structure - thin yet resilient fibers that ensure proper valve closure. The mitral valve of a human heart comes alive through a captivating colored SEM image. Its chordae tendineae stand out like vibrant threads holding everything together with precision. Another SEM snapshot showcases a portion of a cardiac valve in false color, highlighting the complexity hidden within. An inside view of the right ventricle captured in an artwork provides insight into how chordae tendineae integrate seamlessly with other components of internal heart anatomy. Their presence is undeniable; they are truly indispensable for maintaining cardiac health. Multiple SEM images emphasize just how essential these tiny but mighty structures are - "Heart valve and strings, " they whisper repeatedly through detailed visuals.
