There are 5 cuspids. If you want to know how many valves have cuspids, then the answer is two: One is a tricuspid and one is a bicuspid.
It has 2 cusps, it is the only bicuspid valve in the heart, the rest containing 3 cusps.

Also, Three Right, Left, Anterior.
how many cuspids do the valves of the heart have.
tri indicates three cusps.
The tricuspid valve or also called the right atrioventricular valve.
No, only the atrio ventricular, or the the tricuspid and bicuspid valves, have heart strings
Your answer is in the name of each valve actually. The left atrioventricular valve (AV) can also be called the bicuspid valve and the right atrioventricular valve can also be called the tricuspid vavle. If you think back to what you may have learned in Anatomy and Physiology 1, a word that has "uni" attached to the front of it usually means one or single, a word that has "bi" attached to the front of it usually means two or double, and a word that has "tri" attached to the front of it usually means three or triple. So to answer your question, the left atrioventricular valve, which is also known as the bicuspid valve has two cusps and the right atrioventricular valve, which is also known as the tricuspid valve has three cusps.
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.
Mitral valve lies between left atrium and left ventricle. It has got two cusps. So it is also called as bicuspid valve. It allows flow of blood from left atrium to left ventricle. The blood flow in reverse direction is prevented by the valve.
They both have 3 cusps.
The tricuspid valve or also called the right atrioventricular valve.
the wprd tricuspid means either having three points, prongs, or cusps, as the tricuspid valve of the heart or having three tubercles or cusps, as the second upper molar tooth (occasionally) and the upper third molar (usually). if the tricuspid mentioned here refers to the tricuspid vale then it is found in the heart -the valve closing the orifice between the right atrium and right ventricle of the heart; its three cusps are called anterior, posterior, and septal
from the name itself, the bicuspid valve contains two cusps or flaps and the tricuspid valve contains three cusps or flaps. they both prevent the blood from flowing back into the atria........
one has three cusps (tri) and the other has two (bi)
Still needs a valid answer. What's the purpose functionally of the 2 valves being differently shaped? I was proposed the same question by a student today, and the only answer I can come up with, besides because our common ancestors have it that way is there is a limitation of room in left ventricle. However what we think causes it is the fusion of the valves tissue from 3 cusps into 2 in human development.
The chordae tendineae, or heart strings, are cord-like tendons that connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart.
There are three cusps in the aortic valve; the right, left and noncoronary cusps The aortic semilunar valve is composed of three cusps and opens only when the left ventricle contracts. I hope this helps
Tricuspid valve (located between the Rigth Atrium and Right Ventricle in the heart) is also known as the Right Atrioventricular valve. The name "Tricuspid" indicates its structure, or form, as it has three flaps (or cusps), against the Bicuspid Valve (located between the Left Atrium and the Left Ventricle), which only has two. For more info see the related links.
