The bicuspid valve opens and the tricuspid valve closes.
open?
The bicuspid (mitral) valve and tricuspid valve open in a direction that allows blood to flow from the atria to the ventricles.
These "doors" are the following valves:Tricuspid Valve - arterioventricular valve of the right sidePulmonary Semilunar Valve - right side of the heartMitral or Bicuspid Valve - AV valve of the left sideAortic Semilunar Valve - left side of the heart
The human heart has both Tricuspid and a Bicuspid Valve. The Bicuspid Valve is more commonly know as the Aortic Valve. All that bicuspid means is that there are only 2 leaflets in the valve instead of the normal three leaflets that would be found in the tricuspid valve or the mitral valve.
The mitral and bicuspid valves are the same thing.
left atrioventricular valve and left mitral valve
The atrioventricular valve on the left side of the heart is the bicuspid or mitral valve. The AV valve on the right is the tricuspid.
