Ligaments: is a tough material that connects bones together at the joints. Cartilage: is a smooth tough material that protects the end of the bones. It protects the end of t â¦ he bones. Tendons: is a rubber-like cords. it's function is it stretch as the muscles and the bones move.
Yes, the pressure generated (under normal anatomic conditions, mind you) is higher in the left ventricle than the right. This is due to the higher systemic pressures being pumped against by the left ventricle, compared to the relatively low pulmonary vascular pressures opposing the right ventricular output.
By closing at this time, the mitral valve prevents the oxygenated blood in the left ventricle from flowing back to the lungs. The left ventricle is the pumping chamber of the left side of the heart and is the most muscular portion of the heart. When you hear some say their blood pressure is 120 over 80, it is the left ventricle that is generating these pressures.
