The left ventricle does not "open" or "close" in a traditional sense; rather, it contracts and relaxes during the cardiac cycle. During contraction (systole), it pumps oxygenated blood into the aorta through the aortic valve. When the heart relaxes (diastole), the ventricle fills with blood from the left atrium. The opening and closing refer to the aortic valve and mitral valve, which regulate blood flow in and out of the ventricle.

Which set of valves close when the ventricles relax?

When the left ventricle contracts, the mitral valve closes and the aortic valve opens. This is so blood flows into the aorta and out to the rest of the body. While the left ventricle is relaxing, the right ventricle also relaxes. This causes the pulmonary valve to close and the tricuspid valve to open.

Which is the valve present between the left auricle and the left ventricle?

The valve present between the left auricle and the left ventricle is the mitral valve, also known as the bicuspid valve. It consists of two flaps that open and close to regulate blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle and prevent backflow of blood.

Is the tricuspid valve located on the right side of the heart between the the right atrium and the right ventricle?

Yes, the tricuspid valve is located on the right side of the heart between the right atrium and the right ventricle. It controls the flow of blood from the atrium to the ventricle, preventing backflow.

Where are the two valves in the heart?

There are actually four valves in the human heart. The heart has four chambers. The upper two are the right and left atria. The lower two are the right and left ventricles. Blood is pumped through the chambers, aided by four heart valves. The valves open and close to let the blood flow in only one direction. -The tricuspid valve is between the right atrium and right ventricle. -The pulmonary or pulmonic valve is between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. -The mitral valve is between the left atrium and left ventricle. -The aortic valve is between the left ventricle and the aorta. Each valve has a set of flaps (also called leaflets or cusps). When working properly, the heart valves open and close fully.
