What is the tri-layer structure of cardiac valves?
Answer
Dense collagenous core (fibrosa) along the outflow surface
--Connected to the valvular supporting structures (heart wall)
Central core of loose connective tissue (spongiosa)
A layer rich in elastin on the inflow surface (ventricularis or atrialis depending on which chamber it faces)
--Allows for rapid recoil and prompt closure of the valve
