Starting at the APEX of the heart and moving superiorly, what is the correct order in which you would encounter the four anatomical structures below? A. valves, chordae tendonae, papillary muscle, ventricle B. ventricle, papillary muscle, chordae tendonae, valves C. papillary muscle, chordae tendonae, ventricle, valves D. chordae tendonae, valves, ventricle, papillary muscle
Option B. The apex is the pointed end of the heart (the inferior quit). So ven- tricles are first, then papillary muscle to that are connected the chordae tendo- nae, advanced to which can be the atrio-ventricular valves.
