What are the tendons which permit heart valve to open and close?

The tendons you are talking about are called the cordae tendineae not heart strings


What do the tendons do that stretch between the atrioventricular valves and the ventricle wall?

These tendons are anchored to the wall of the ventricle by chordae tendinease, which prevent the valve from inverting. The chordae tendinae are attached to papillary muscles that cause tension to better hold the valve.


What is the function of the tendons of the valve?

The tendons of the valves in the heart, such as the chordae tendineae, help to anchor the valve flaps (or cusps) and prevent them from being pushed back into the atria during ventricular contractions. This helps to ensure that the valves close properly and prevent backflow of blood.


What structure prevents the valves from turning inside out?

The chordae tendineae, also known as the heart strings, are fibrous tendons that anchor the heart valves in place and prevent them from turning inside out during the cardiac cycle. These tendons are connected to the papillary muscles in the heart to ensure proper valve function.


What holds the atrioventricular valves in place?

The atrioventricular valves are held in place by the chordea tendeae. These tendons are chord like structures that stiffen to close the valve.
