The bicuspid valve opens and the tricuspid valve closes.
The bicuspid valve opens and the tricuspid valve closes.
The tendinious cord is located in the ventricles,ie., it connects the papillary muscle at one end and atrio-ventricular valves(mitral or bicuspid valve and tricuspid valve).The function is just transmitting the force from the pappilary muscles to the atrio-ventricular valves and make the valve open during the atrial contraction or systole, and allow the blood to flow into the ventricles.
Atrioventricular valves are two in number. Mitral valve is between the left atrium (upper chamber) and left ventricle (lower chamber). Tricuspid valve is between the right atrium (upper chamebr) and right ventricle (lower chamber). Mitral valve closes when the left ventricle contracts, to prevent back flow of blood into the left atrium. Tricuspid valve closes when the right ventricle contracts. Hence the blood from the ventricles are able to go out of the heart into the blood vessels during ventricular contraction. Mitral and tricuspid valves open when the ventricles relax, permitting blood to enter the ventricles from the atria. This blood is pumped out when the ventricles contracts next time.
The pulmonary valve ensures one-way flow of blood from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. It opens to allow blood to be pumped into the pulmonary artery during ventricular contraction, and then closes to prevent backflow of blood into the right ventricle during relaxation.

Pressure levels differ in the tricuspid and the bicuspid because of pressure gradients as influenced by volume of inflows.
No, only the atrio ventricular, or the the tricuspid and bicuspid valves, have heart strings
The AV valve is open and the semilunar valve is closed during ventricular diastole.
A atrio-ventricular valve is the structure that stops blood flowing backwards into the atria. There is one of these valves on both the left and right sides of the heart.
The tricuspid valve at the bottom of the right atrium prevents the backward flow of blood.
