The right atrioventricular valve (or right AV valve), also called the tricuspid valve, (for its three leafletlobes) controls the flow of blood between the right atrium and right ventricle. (The opening itself is the "right atrioventricular canal.") It prevents dexoygenated blood from regurgitating back into the right atrium. The vale is called "tricuspid" because of its three leaflets; it must be noted however, that the tricuspid valve can contain between two and four leaflets.

What is the valve between the right atrium and right atrium?

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.

What is the valve between the right and left atrium and ventricle?

What valve between the left atrium and the right ventricle?

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.


What is the valve between between the left atrium and left ventricle?

right atrium - right ventricle = TRICUSPID VALVE; right ventricle - lungs = PULMONARY SEMILUNAR VALVE; lungs - left atrium = not really a valve, more a perforation in the left pericardium; left atrium - left ventricle = MITRAL VALVE; left ventricle - aorta = AORTIC SEMILUNAR VALVE.


What are the valves found between the ventricles and blood vessels?

Blood vessels do not have ventricles, but the heat does. The valves at the ventricles of the heart are the atrioventricular valves, the tricuspid and the bicuspid.


Term of the 4 sections of a heart?

There are two atria (left and right atrium), and two ventricles (left and right ventricles). The left side and right side are totally separated, but on each side the atrium and ventricle gets connected by a valve and has valves to either take in or pump out blood.


Where does the blood go once it is in the atria?

The blood in the atria moves into the ventricles through the atrioventricular valves (tricuspid valve in the right atrium and mitral valve in the left atrium). From the ventricles, the blood is pumped out through the semilunar valves into the pulmonary artery from the right ventricle and the aorta from the left ventricle to circulate throughout the body.


What are organs that work with the hearts system?

abdomen, blood vessels, breathing, ventricles (left and right), atrium (left and right) and pulmonary valve, lungs


What is the valve that is between the ventricles and their arteries?

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.


What is the valve that separates the right atrium from the left ventricle?

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.


What valve separates the upper and lower chamber of the heart?

There are 4 heart chambers. The two upper chambers are called atria while the two lower chambers are called ventricles. The valve separating the atria from the ventricles is called the atrioventricular valve. Then you would have your right and left atrioventricular valves.
