The cuspid valves, also known as atrioventricular valves, include the tricuspid valve on the right side and the mitral valve on the left side of the heart. Their primary role is to prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles into the atria during ventricular contraction (systole). They open to allow blood to flow from the atria to the ventricles during diastole, ensuring unidirectional blood flow through the heart. This coordination is crucial for maintaining efficient circulation throughout the body.

This term refers to the valves located between the atria and ventricles of the heart, specifically the mitral valve (left side) and the tricuspid valve (right side). These valves play a crucial role in ensuring unidirectional blood flow through the heart.
What structures in the heart prevent the back flow of blood?
The heart has two types of valves that keep the blood flowing in the correct direction. The valves between the atria and ventricles are called atrioventricular valves (also called cuspid valves), while those at the bases of the large vessels leaving the ventricles are called semilunar valves.

What are the fibrous structures in the heart that prevent prolapse of the cuspid valves?
Chordae tendineae - attached to the valves between both atria and ventricles... these structures are attached to papillary muscles in the bottom of the ventricles. these contract when the valves contract, this keeps the blood from going back up into the atria.
What are the 2 exit valves of the heart?
Oxygenated blood will pass through the bi-cuspid valve, located in the left ventricle, and the semi-lunar valve, located at the entrance to the aorta.

What is the use of valves in the heart.?
The use of the valves in the heart is to have blood flow regularly through the heart. The valves pump blood out of the heart into the body.
