What is the role of the tricuspid valve?

Answer 1

The tricuspid valve is located on the right side of the heart between the right atrium and ventricle. The purpose of the valve is to close when the ventricle pumps blood into the pulmorary arteries that lead to the lungs. The bicuspid valve, or mitral valve, functions similarly to maintain blood flow in one direction only. The bicuspid valve is located on the right side of the heart. Oxygenated blood from the left ventricle is pumped throughout the body as the mitral valve stays closed during compression.

Answer 2

The tricuspid valve is one of the four valves of the heart. This valve stands between the right atrium and the right ventricle. This valve works with the bicuspid valve to ensure that blood flows from the atria to the ventricles.

Answer 3

All heart valves serve the same function: to allow for one-way blood flow, and to prevent reverse flow of blood as the heart contracts. The tricuspid valve is situated between the right atrium and right ventricle. So it allows for blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle, but not from the right ventricle to the right atrium. The bicuspid valve is between the left ventricle and left atrium. It performs the exact same function as the tricuspid valve, except for the left chambers of the heart. Certain defects in these valves cause regurgitation of blood from the lower chambers of the heart back to the upper chambers during ventricular systole (heard as a heart murmur). The result is reduced cardiac output. Another possibility is the narrowing (or stenosing) of a valve, which means less blood can flow through the valves. The result is reduced cardiac output, sometimes evident only during exertion. If you mix the two conditions (stenosis and murmur), cardiac output will be reduced even further.

Answer 4

The function of the tricuspid valve ensures that blood flows from the right atrium to the right ventricle by closing an prevented back flow during ventricle systole

Answer 5

The tricuspid valve is a valve in your heart, which separate the right atrium and the right ventricle, preventing the flow back of blood.

Answer 6

the tricuspid valve (located in the heart between the right atrium and right ventricle) acts to ensure movement of blood is in the direction from the right atrium to the right ventricle only.

Answer 7

The tricuspid valve ( together with the bicuspid valve ) ensure that blood flows from the atria to the ventricles.
