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.
