Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fibrous skeleton of the heart performs multiple functions, including separating the atria and ventricles, anchoring the heart valves, providing electrical insulation between the atria and ventricles, and providing the framework for the attachment of the myocardium. Therefore, options A, B, C, and D are all true functions of the fibrous skeleton of the heart. Option E is incorrect as it contradicts the previous statements.
