The left atrioventricular (AV) valve, known as the mitral valve, has two flaps (cusps), while the right AV valve, called the tricuspid valve, has three flaps. The mitral valve is located between the left atrium and left ventricle, facilitating blood flow into the systemic circulation, whereas the tricuspid valve is positioned between the right atrium and right ventricle, directing blood into the pulmonary circulation. Additionally, the left AV valve withstands higher pressures due to the stronger contractions of the left ventricle compared to the right.
