What valves are in the heart?

There are two valves in the heart. They are tricuspid valve and bicuspid valve.There is a possibility of the blood going back into the atria.

Which heart valve is open under pressure?

When the atria contract, there is increase in pressure in the atrial chambers. So both bicuspid and tricuspid valves opened up. When both the ventricles contract, both the bicuspid and tricuspid valves get closed. This opens up the aortic and pulmonary valves.
