The most important of the columnse carneee are those which are calledthe musculi papillares. There are three of these, usually well formed, inthe right ventricle, corresponding in number to the flaps of the tricuspidvalve. They are attached by one end to the walls of the cavity, and atthe other terminate in the fine tendinous cords, the chordce tendinece,which regulate the action of the tricuspid valve. The two largest of thepapillary muscles arise from the anterior wall of the ventricle, and thesmallest from the septal wall. Occasionally accessory fasciculi are foundinterposed between the regular muscles and blending with them.
