why do we draw a heart like that
Heart (symbol) Greek. In the 6th-5th century BC, the heart shape was used to represent the heart-shaped fruit of the plant Silphium,[1] a plant possibly used as a contraceptive [2] Many species in the parsley family have estrogenic properties, and some, such as wild carrot, were used to induce abortion.[3] Silver coins from Cyrene of the 6â€“5th BC bear a similar design, sometimes accompanied by a silphium plant and is understood to represent its seed or fruit.[4]
Chordae tendineae The chordae tendineae (tendinous cords), colloquially known as the heart strings, are tendon-resembling fibrous cords connective tissue that connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the bicuspid valve in the heart.
