What else can I help you with?
Are the tricuspid valves of the heart also called semilunar valves?
The tricuspid valves are different from the semilunar valves. The tricuspid valve is the right atrioventricular valve.
Can you list all of the valves in the heart?
Aortic, Bicuspid,tricuspid and Pulmonic valves.
Why is it important for tricuspid and bicuspid valves to close completely when the ventricle contracts?
These valves keep blood flowing in one direction. If they are 'leaky', less will go to the tissues causing the heart to beat more rapidly.
What are the names for the two different sets of heart valves?
Atrioventricular valves Bicuspid Valve Tricuspid valve Pulmonary valve Aortic valve these are all the valves which are part of the heart.
What valve of the heart has three valves with chordae tendineae?
No, only the atrio ventricular, or the the tricuspid and bicuspid valves, have heart strings

What are the ropelike structures at the base of the tricuspid and aortic valves?
The ropelike structures at the base of the tricuspid and aortic valves are called chordae tendineae. They are cord-like tendons that connect the valve cusps to the papillary muscles in the heart. These structures help to prevent the valves from prolapsing or regurgitating when the heart contracts.
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.
Why do blood cant flow backward to atrium when ventricles contract?
The tricuspid and bicuspid valves block blood from coming back into the atria.

What is the medical term meaning reverse flow of blood through the mitral or tricuspid valves?
Mitral regurgitation or tricuspid regurgitation is the medical term meaning backflow of blood through the mitral or tricuspid valves, respectively.
Valves separating atria and ventricles are cal led what valves?
for the right atrium and right ventricle, the tricuspid valve separates the two. For the left, the mitral valve separates the two.
What valves open when the atria contract?
tricuspid valve
What are you hearing when your heart beats?
The bicuspid, tricuspid and semilunar valves snapping shut to prevent blood flowing backwards. Bicuspid and tricuspid valves produce the "lub" sound and the semilunar valves produce the "dub" sound.
