there is a tricuspid valve in between the right atria and ventricle.
The atrioventricular valve acts as a control device between the atria and the ventricles. They prevent blood from moving back into the atria during contraction.

tricuspid valve
The tricuspid valve is located between the right atria and ventricle.
The bicuspid valve and the tricuspid valve connect the atria to the ventricles.
These chords are called the Chordea Tendinae. Their function is to stop the valves from invertung back into the atria. If they weeken and stretch they start to allow the valves to be pushed back into the atria, this is called floppy valve syndrome.
mitral valve
The atrioventricular vales separate the atria from the ventricles. The left AV valve is also known as the mitral valve, and the right is the tricuspid valve.
Between the Atria and Ventricles of the heart are the aptly named Atrioventricular valves. The valve between the right atrium and ventricle is called the Tricuspid because id has three Cusps (of small flaps the are pushed together and closed when under pressure). The valve between the left atrium and ventricle is called the Bicuspid because it has two cusps, of more often called the Mitral Valve because its two cusps look like a bishops hat.
