Talk:Chordae tendineae

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 )

Symbology
Should there be a mention of the artisitc symbolism of 'heartstrings'? 76.120.103.127 (talk) 07:38, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

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)

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)

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)
