The right atrioventricular valve in the human heart is called "tricuspid" because it has three (tri-) cusps (points). Looking at the valve from the atrium, it resembles three flaps.
The "flaps" are anchored by ligaments attached to the ventricular walls.
This is the "right atrioventricular canal" whose opening contains the right AV valve, also known as the tricuspid valve.
The human heart contains four chambers: the right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body via the superior vena cava (from the upper body) and the inferior vena cava (from the lower body). The blood is then pumped through the atrioventricular tricuspid valve to the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs via the pulmonary veins. The blood is then pumped through the atrioventricular bicuspid (mitral) valve to the left ventricle. The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the body via the aorta.
Deoxygenated Blood
As veins flow TOWARDS the heart, the PULMONARY VEINS are the only veins that carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the LEFT ATRIUM.
Venous blood enters the ventricle. The lung oxygenates blood from the aorta.
Bicuspid means having two valves. A normal heart contains tricuspid valves.
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........
The bicuspid valve is actually located within the heart, not on the roof of a chamber. It is also known as the mitral valve and is found between the left atrium and left ventricle. Its function is to prevent the backflow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium.
The bicuspid, also known as the mitral valve, is located in the left atrium of the heart. It separates the left atrium from the left ventricle and is responsible for allowing blood to flow from the atrium to the ventricle while preventing backflow. The roof of the left atrium contains the pulmonary veins, which bring oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.

The right ventricle of the heart typically contains three papillary muscles: anterior, posterior, and septal. These muscles attach to the tricuspid valve leaflets via chordae tendineae to help prevent valve regurgitation.
The right ventricle of the heart contains deoxygenated blood. It receives blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs for oxygenation.
The heart contains 4 chambers The Right Atrium The Left Atrium The Right Ventricle and the Left Ventricle
the right ventricle contains deoxegynated blood, but the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood out at a much more forceful rate (it has to get to the rest of you body). Therefore, the left ventricle wall is thicker. =]
