for the right atrium and right ventricle, the tricuspid valve separates the two. For the left, the mitral valve separates the two.
Tricuspid and Mitral valves
Both AV valves, the bicuspid and tricuspid, (separating the ventricles from the atria) prevent blood from flowing back into the atria when the ventricles contract. Both the semilunar valves (separating the arteries from the ventricles) prevent blood from flowing back from the arteries once it has been pumped out of he ventricles, and thus, out of the heart. The difference is that the AV valves are contracted when they are CLOSED, but the semilunar valves are contracted when OPEN. Otherwise, I can't think of another major job besides preventing backflow.
Atrioventricular valves ar the valves in the heart that lie between the atria and the ventricles. These valves stop the the blood from flowing back (in the wtong direction) from the ventricles into the atria. There are two atrioventricular valves, on the right is the Tricuspis and on the left is the Bicuspid or Mitral valve.
Chordae tendineae - attached to the valves between both atria and ventricles... these structures are attached to papillary muscles in the bottom of the ventricles. these contract when the valves contract, this keeps the blood from going back up into the atria.
TRUE
As the ventricles of the heart contract the pressure in the ventricles rises beyond that of the atria. This pressure differential causes the AV valves to shut.
atrioventricular
atrioventricular
There are no valves between the atria. The valves between the atria and ventricles close when the ventricles contract.
The general term would be atrioventricular valves or AV valves. There are two of these valves: the one on the right side is known as the tricuspid valve and the one on the left is known as the mitral valve.
Atrio-ventricular valves
Both AV valves, the bicuspid and tricuspid, (separating the ventricles from the atria) prevent blood from flowing back into the atria when the ventricles contract. Both the semilunar valves (separating the arteries from the ventricles) prevent blood from flowing back from the arteries once it has been pumped out of he ventricles, and thus, out of the heart. The difference is that the AV valves are contracted when they are CLOSED, but the semilunar valves are contracted when OPEN. Otherwise, I can't think of another major job besides preventing backflow.
It means "atrioventricular". It refers to the valves between the atria and the ventricles.

The atrioventricular valves are responsible for preventing blood from flowing back into the atria at the moment the ventricles contract. These valves are situated at the point where the ventricles and atria meet. Atrioventricular valves are two in number; the mitral valve and tricuspid valve.

They are pairs of chambers inside the heart, which have valves.
