∙ 16y agoThere are four valves of the heart: two are located between the atria and ventricles of the heart (called atrioventricular valves) and two are located in the major vessels leaving the valves (called semilunar valves). The left atrioventricular valve is also known as the bicuspid valve or the mitral valve. The right atrioventricular valve is also known as the tricuspid valve. The two semilunar valves are named after the vessel they lie within: the left semilunar valve is called the aortic valve because it lies within the aorta; the right semilunar valve is called the pulmonic valve because it lies within the pulmonary artery.

∙ 14y agoThere are 4 main valves in the heart. The bicuspid valve, located between the left atrium and left ventricle. The tricuspid valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle. There are then 2 semilunar valves one just inside the pulmonary artery and one just inside the Aorta.

∙ 14y agothere are four chambers in the heart. the tricuspid valve is positioned in between the upper and lower right chambers. the bicuspid valve is positioned in between the upper and lower left chambers.

∙ 13y agoThe human heart is made of four chambers:
- left atrium
- left ventricle
- right atrium
- right ventricle
- Between the left atria and the left ventricle, you have your bicuspid/mitral valve
- Between the right atria and the right ventricle you have your tricuspid valve
- Between your left ventricle and the aorta you have your aortic semilunar valve
- Between your right ventricle and your pulmonary artery you have your pulmonic semilunar valve.

∙ 12y agoThe heart has four chambers and each chamber has valves. The valves help to direct the flow of blood in one direction only. So when the heart pumps the valves open to propel the blood. During relaxation the valves close so that the chamber can fill with more blood so that it can pump out on the next contraction.

How can you distinguish between an atrioventicular valve and a semivunar valve in the heart?
The atrioventricular valves are located between the atria and the ventricles. The semilunar valves are located between the ventricles and the arteries leaving the heart.
Where are tricuspid valves?
it is located between right ventricle and atrium in heart.
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 use of valves in the heart.?
The use of the valves in the heart is to have blood flow regularly through the heart. The valves pump blood out of the heart into the body.
Where are Semilunar valves located?
There are actually two. The aortic and pulmonary semi-lunar valves are located at the exit of their corresponding ventricles (of the heart) and open to allow blood to exit the heart
What is considered upper heart valves?
The upper heart valves are called atriums, and the lower heart valves are called ventricles.
Do heart valves control the direction of blood flow?
