      • The fibrous skeleton separates the atrial musculature from that of the ventricles. It serves as the framework for the attachment of myocardial fibers, with atrial fibers arising from the upper border of the rings and ventricular fibers originating from the lower border of the rings.

  1. In cardiology, the cardiac skeleton, also known as the fibrous skeleton of the heart, is a high-density homogeneous structure of connective tissue that forms and anchors the valves of the heart, and influences the forces exerted by and through them.

  2. The cardiac skeleton, or fibrous skeleton of the heart, is the structure of dense connective tissue that separates the atria from the ventricles. The fibrous skeleton provides critical support for the heart and separates the flow of electrical impulses through the heart.

  3. Jan 2, 2023 · Histologically, the heart is mainly composed of cardiomyocytes and connective tissue. Dense 2 connective tissue with elastic fibers is in the cardiac/fibrous skeleton. Certain stains, such as Masson's elastic trichrome stains, can help visualize these components.

  4. The supporting structure (cardiac skeleton) of the microscopic cardiac anatomy is composed of dense fibrous collagenous connective tissue and the cardiac fibroblasts that are largely responsible for their formation.

  5. Aug 18, 2017 · This review provides a comprehensive overview of the anatomy of the fibrous skeleton of the heart and its related components, supported by relevant images of anatomy and pathologic processes. The fibrous skeleton is concentrated at the base of the ventricular mass.

  6. Mar 28, 2024 · Anatomy. » The Fibrous Skeleton of the Heart. Like the human body, the heart has its skeleton. The 4 chambers of the heart are attached to it. There are 4 rigid fibrous rings and a tiny vertical section a few millimeters long in the lower center. This marks the beginning of the septum separating the 2 ventricles.
