Is true the chordae tendineae anchor the semilunar valves to the walls of the ventricles?
No. in my opinion, Chordae tendineae is attached to Tricuspid valve and bicuspid valve. Both valves do not have semilunar valves. Pulmonary valve and Aortic valve has semilunar valve.
What are the hearts two atrioventricular valves and two semilunar valves?
Tricuspid valve has three flaps and it is located between the right auricle and right ventricle. It prevents the blood from flowing back into the auricle. The mitral or bicuspid valve is situated between left auricle and left ventricle. It has two flaps which help in maintaining the blood flow in one direction (from left auricle to left ventricle). Tricuspid and bicuspid valves are together called auriculo-ventriclar valves. Semilunar valves has flap which resembles half moon. Pulmonary semilunar valve keep the direction of blood flow from right ventricle to lungs and aortic semilunar valve keep the direction of blood flow from left ventricle to aorta.
What act as doors between the chambers of your heart?
The heart does not have doors, but it does have valves that could be thought of as doors. They consist of the semilunar valves (the pulmonary semilunar valve and the aortic semilunar valve). The other two are the atrioventricularvalves (tricuspid and bicuspid valves).
What is the sequence of valves in the pathway of blood from the venae cavae to the aorta is?
-tricuspid valve -pulmonary semilunar valve -mitral/bicuspid valve -aotic valve
What are all the valves in a heart?
There are four valves of two types (atrioventricular valves and semilunar valves). The four valves are :Tricuspid Valve (between the right atrium and the right ventricle)Pulmonary Valve* (semilunar valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery)Mitral Valve (between the left atrium and the left ventricle)Aortic Valve (semilunar valve between the left ventricle and the aorta)*sometimes called the Pulmonic ValveThis does not include the other two valves: the Thebesian valve, which can be sometimes absent in healthy individuals; and the eustachian valve, which is important during the fetal stages of life but is not necessary in adults.
What are you hearing when your heart beats?
The bicuspid, tricuspid and semilunar valves snapping shut to prevent blood flowing backwards. Bicuspid and tricuspid valves produce the "lub" sound and the semilunar valves produce the "dub" sound.
Is true the chordae tendineae anchor the semilunar valves to the walls of the ventricles?
No. in my opinion, Chordae tendineae is attached to Tricuspid valve and bicuspid valve. Both valves do not have semilunar valves. Pulmonary valve and Aortic valve has semilunar valve.
Is the bicuspid and aortic semilunar valves on the righs side of the heart?
Anatomically speaking there on the left side
2 other names for the bicuspid valve?
left atrioventricular valve and left mitral valve
What are the hearts two atrioventricular valves and two semilunar valves?
Tricuspid valve has three flaps and it is located between the right auricle and right ventricle. It prevents the blood from flowing back into the auricle.

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. This is prevented by these two valves, the tricuspid valve on the right side and the bicuspid valve on the left side.Tricuspid ValvePulmonary ValveMitral Valve (AKA Bicuspid Vlave)Aortic ValveThe four valves are known as:The tricuspid valveThe pulmonic or pulmonary valveThe mitral valveThe aortic valve
Where in the heart are the bicuspid and tricuspid valves located?
The bicuspid and tricuspid valves are located between the atria and the ventricles. The bicuspid or mitral valve is on the left, and the tricuspid is on the right.
What is the sequence of valves in the pathway of blood from the venae cavae to the aorta is?
-tricuspid valve -pulmonary semilunar valve -mitral/bicuspid valve -aotic valve
The lubb-dupp heart sounds are made by the?
The "lubb" sound is produced by the closing of the Atrioventricular (Bicuspid and Triscuspid) valves , while the "dupp" sound is produced by the closing of the Semilunar (Aortic and Pulmonary) valves.

What are the 3 main vessels of the heart?
There are actually four valves in the heart: The tricuspid valve, mitral valve, pulmonary semilunar valve, and aortic semilunar valve. If you needed to list three different types of valves, you could consider both semilunar valves as one configuration type. Then you would have: Tricuspid valve, bicuspid (aka mitral) valve, and semilunar valves.
