What is an AV valve in the heart?

The AV or atrioventricular valves are the valves which separate the upper chambers (the atria) from the lower chambers (ventricles) of the heart. The AV valve on the left side of the heart is known as the left atrioventricular (AV) valve or the mitral valve. The AV valve on the right side of the heart is known as the right atrioventricular (AV) valve or the tricuspid valve.

How are the left and right AV valves different from one another?

The left atrioventricular (AV) valve, known as the mitral valve, has two flaps (cusps), while the right AV valve, called the tricuspid valve, has three flaps. The mitral valve is located between the left atrium and left ventricle, facilitating blood flow into the systemic circulation, whereas the tricuspid valve is positioned between the right atrium and right ventricle, directing blood into the pulmonary circulation. Additionally, the left AV valve withstands higher pressures due to the stronger contractions of the left ventricle compared to the right.
