Many people  don’t realize that heart strings really exist. This is the inside of a heart, and those strings are called Chordae Tendineae.  Wittle biology lesson

and chordae tendineae attach to papillary muscles in both ventricles and also right parietal, septal, and angular valvules (right AV valve) and the left parietal and septal valvules (left AV valve). and each of the papillary muscles has a name. and i know them all. but i’m not gonna be a tool and list them on tumblr right now.
look it up in Budras’ Anatomy of the Dog.
also, no idea how this picture was generated, but that’s exactly what they look like.
oh and those ridges on the sides of the walls? they’re called trabeculae carneae in the ventricles and pectinate muscles in the atria.

photoshopped da vinci/robotic assist perhaps?
this almost makes me want to consider surgery as a career. almost.
