  2. Papillary muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papillary_muscle

    The papillary muscles are muscles located in the ventricles of the heart. They attach to the cusps of the atrioventricular valves (also known as the mitral and tricuspid valves) via the chordae tendineae and contract to prevent inversion or prolapse of these valves on systole (or ventricular contraction).

  3. Chordae tendineae - Wikipedia

    Parachute mitral valve occurs when all the chordae tendineae of the mitral valve attach to a single papillary muscle. [9] [10] [11] This causes mitral valve stenosis at an early age. [10] It is a rare congenital heart defect. [11] Although it often causes mitral insufficiency, it may not present any symptoms. [10]

  4. Pull-up (exercise) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pull-up_(exercise)

    Kipping pull-ups have lower muscle activation in the upper body but greater activation in the lower body and core; it is possible to perform them faster and complete more repetitions before encountering upper-body fatigue. [14] Kipping pull-ups are considered high risk for injury and are a major cause of shoulder injury in CrossFit athletes. [15]

  5. Trabeculae carneae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabeculae_carneae

    The trabeculae carneae and the papillary muscles make up a significant percentage of the ventricular mass in the heart (12-17% in normal human adult hearts), and are correlated with ventricular end diastolic volume. [5] Trabeculae ratios of capillary-to myocyte differ between the walls of the right and left ventricle.

  6. Cardiac muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_muscle

    Cardiac muscle (also called heart muscle or myocardium) is one of three types of vertebrate muscle tissues, the others being skeletal muscle and smooth muscle. It is an involuntary, striated muscle that constitutes the main tissue of the wall of the heart .

    Olson shares that “negative pull-ups” are also a great starting point. “Use a chair or bench. Hang from a pull-up bar in the flexed (ending/up) position,” she explains of the exercise.

    Researchers followed up with participants after about 12 years and found that drinking two-to-three cups of coffee, or up to three cups of tea, a day was the sweet spot for cardiometabolic health.

  9. Muscular system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscular_system

    Three distinct types of muscle (L to R): Smooth (non-striated) muscle in internal organs, cardiac or heart muscle, and skeletal muscle. There are three distinct types of muscle: skeletal muscle, cardiac or heart muscle, and smooth (non-striated) muscle. Muscles provide strength, balance, posture, movement, and heat for the body to keep warm. [3]
