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.

∙ 13y agoThere are four valves in the human heart: the atrioventricular (AV) tricuspid valve, the pulmonary semilunar valve, the AV bicuspid (or mitral) valve, and the aortic semilunar valve.
The AV tricuspid valve prevents deoxygenated blood in the right ventricle from flowing back into the right atrium.
The pulmonary semilunar valve prevents deoxygenated blood in the right and left pulmonary arteries from flowing back into the right ventricle.
The AV bicuspid valve prevents oxygenated blood in the left ventricle from flowing back into the left atrium.
The aortic semilunar valve prevents oxygenated blood in the aorta from flowing back into the left ventricle.

Do arterioles contain non return valves?
you find non return valves inside the heart, lymph and veines, avoiding fluids from flowing backwards > [veinous blood in veines and heart, oxygenated blood in the heart]. Lymph vessels have valves also. The portal vein though contains no valves. All arteries including arteriols and capillaries have no valves.

Where else in the circulatory system are valves found?
Valves can be found in the heart. They sit between the Atria and the Ventricles and help aid cardiovascular activity.
