// THE ANSWERS
Q1/What is trabeculae carneae.?
The trabeculae carneae (columnae carneae, or meaty
ridges), are rounded or irregular muscular columns
which project from the inner surface of the right and
left ventricle of the heart.[1] These are different from
the pectinate muscles, which are present in
the atria of the heart.
There are 2 kinds:

 Some are attached along their entire length on

one side and merely form prominent ridges,
 Others are fixed at their extremities but free in the
middle, as in the moderator band in the right
ventricle, or the papillary muscles that holds
chordae tendinae, which are connected to cusps of
valves to control flow of blood into the heart

Q2/ What is chordae tendineae?
The chordae tendineae (tendinous cords), colloquially
known as the heart strings, are tendon-resembling
fibrous cords of connective tissue that connect
the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and
the mitral valve in the heart.

Q3/ How do the heart and lungs work together?

The heart and lungs work together to make sure the
body has the oxygen-rich blood it needs to function
properly.

1. The Pulmonary Loop The right side of the heart

picks up the oxygen-poor blood from the body
and moves it to the lungs for cleaning and re-
oxygenating.
2. The Systemic Loop Once the blood is re-
oxygenated, the left side of the heart moves the
blood throughout the body so that every part
receives the oxygen it needs.

The close connection between the heart and lungs

means that breathing problems can be caused by
issues in either the heart or lungs, or both.

• There are three major functions of the circulatory system.

– transporting blood, gases, nutrients
– collecting waste materials
– maintaining body temperature
