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.
right ventricle and right atrium
1)Tricuspid valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle 2) Pulmonary (semilunar) valve separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary trunk leading to the pulmonary arteries 3) Bicuspid (Mitral) valve separates the left atrium from the left ventricle 4) Aortic valve separates the left ventricle from the aorta
Left Atrium and Left Ventricle. Its right heart sided counterpart is the tricuspid valve.
The LEFT ventricle and pulmonary artery are not connected by a valve. The RIGHT ventricle is connected by the pulmonic valve. The mitral valve separates the left atrium from the left ventricle and the tricuspid valve seperates the right atrium from the right ventricle.
Mitral Valve
The AV valve. There is one for the right and left sides of the heart.
If you are referring to the valve that separates the left atrium from the left ventricle, it is called the mitral valve.
The tricuspid valve prevents the backflow of blood to the right atrium..The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle. It opens to allow the de-oxygenated blood collected in the right atrium to flow into the right ventricle. It closes as the right ventricle contracts, preventing blood from returning to the right atrium; thereby, forcing it to exit through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery.
The blood flows from the atrium through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle. The tricuspid valve prevents backflow of blood from the right ventricle back into the right atrium when the ventricle contracts.

Blood enters the left atrium through the pulmonary veins, and is pumped into the left ventricle through the mitral valve.
