The atrioventricular valves are held in place by the chordea tendeae. These tendons are chord like structures that stiffen to close the valve.

Cuspid valves are right and left atrioventricular (AV) valves.
During heart contraction
It means "atrioventricular". It refers to the valves between the atria and the ventricles.
The valves separating the atria and ventricles are collectively referred to as atrioventricular valves. These include the tricuspid valve on the right side of the heart and the mitral valve on the left side.

.. atria during systole.
The tricuspid valves are different from the semilunar valves. The tricuspid valve is the right atrioventricular valve.
Atrioventricular valves prevent backwards flow of blood inside the heart, i.e. flow from the ventricles back to the atria. Semilunar valves prevent backwards flow of blood into the heart from the aorta (left ventricle) or the pulmonary arteries (right ventricle).
