No, the tricuspid valve does not open during ventricular contraction. During this phase, known as systole, the ventricles contract to pump blood out of the heart, which causes the pressure in the ventricles to rise and forces the tricuspid valve to close. This closure prevents backflow of blood into the right atrium. The tricuspid valve opens during diastole, when the ventricles relax and blood flows from the atria into the ventricles.
The valve attached to the right atrium is the tricuspid valve. It regulates blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle, preventing backflow during ventricular contraction. The tricuspid valve has three leaflets and plays a crucial role in maintaining efficient blood circulation within the heart.
The bicuspid valve opens and the tricuspid valve closes.

The tendinious cord is located in the ventricles,ie., it connects the papillary muscle at one end and atrio-ventricular valves(mitral or bicuspid valve and tricuspid valve).The function is just transmitting the force from the pappilary muscles to the atrio-ventricular valves and make the valve open during the atrial contraction or systole, and allow the blood to flow into the ventricles.
Atrioventricular valves are two in number. Mitral valve is between the left atrium (upper chamber) and left ventricle (lower chamber). Tricuspid valve is between the right atrium (upper chamebr) and right ventricle (lower chamber). Mitral valve closes when the left ventricle contracts, to prevent back flow of blood into the left atrium. Tricuspid valve closes when the right ventricle contracts. Hence the blood from the ventricles are able to go out of the heart into the blood vessels during ventricular contraction. Mitral and tricuspid valves open when the ventricles relax, permitting blood to enter the ventricles from the atria. This blood is pumped out when the ventricles contracts next time.
The valve you are referring to is the mitral valve, also known as the bicuspid valve. It prevents the backflow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium during ventricular contraction.
The tricuspid valve is one of the four main heart valves, located between the right atrium and right ventricle. It consists of three leaflets that open and close to regulate blood flow, preventing backflow into the atrium during ventricular contraction. The valve plays a crucial role in maintaining efficient circulation by ensuring that deoxygenated blood moves from the right atrium into the right ventricle, where it is then pumped to the lungs for oxygenation. Dysfunction of the tricuspid valve can lead to conditions such as tricuspid regurgitation or stenosis.
The pulmonary valve ensures one-way flow of blood from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. It opens to allow blood to be pumped into the pulmonary artery during ventricular contraction, and then closes to prevent backflow of blood into the right ventricle during relaxation.

Pressure levels differ in the tricuspid and the bicuspid because of pressure gradients as influenced by volume of inflows.
The right atrioventricular valve, also known as the tricuspid valve, consists of three leaflets or cusps: the anterior, posterior, and septal cusps. These leaflets are anchored to the right ventricle by chordae tendineae, which connect to papillary muscles that help maintain valve closure during ventricular contraction. The valve regulates blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle and prevents backflow during ventricular systole. Its structure is crucial for ensuring unidirectional blood flow within the heart.
