Functional anatomy of heart valves

After watching this video session, it is expected that you will be able to:
Describe the structure of atrioventricular and semilunar valves
Discuss how competence of the atrioventricular valves is an active phenomenon related to the contraction of papillary muscles and tightening of chordae tendineae
Describe the structure and function of the fibrous skeleton of the heart
Discuss how competence of the semilunar valves is a passive phenomenon
Explain why the coronary arteries are nourished during ventricular diastole
