- Without the fibrous skeleton of the heart, the heart’s ability to pump blood would be considerably less efficient since the ventricles would contract before filled to capacity. The fibrous skeleton of the heart also protects against cardiac arrhythmias.
The heart ‘s fibrous skeleton stops the flow of electrical currents between the chambers of the heart so that it only flows through the atrioventricular (AV) bundle. This causes a delay in depolarization so that the ventricles contract after they fill with blood.

Oct 30, 2023 · The fibrous skeleton of the heart, also called the cardiac skeleton, consists of four fibrous rings (anuli fibrosi, singular: annulus fibrosis) and the membranous portions of the septa of the heart. This skeleton is located at the base of the ventricles, between the atria and the ventricles.

Heart: Heart Defects. One very common form of interatrial septum pathology is patent foramen ovale, which occurs when the septum primum does not close at birth, and the fossa ovalis is unable to fuse. The word patent is from the Latin root patens for “open.”
Mar 28, 2024 · 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.
