There are four valves of two types (atrioventricular valves and semilunar valves). The four valves are :

  • Tricuspid Valve (between the right atrium and the right ventricle)
  • Pulmonary Valve* (semilunar valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery)
  • Mitral Valve (between the left atrium and the left ventricle)
  • Aortic Valve (semilunar valve between the left ventricle and the aorta)

*sometimes called the Pulmonic Valve

This does not include the other two valves: the Thebesian valve, which can be sometimes absent in healthy individuals; and the eustachian valve, which is important during the fetal stages of life but is not necessary in adults.
