The heart valves- the bicuspid and tricuspid valves- are there to prevent blood from back-welling into the atria after atrial systole (contraction). Once the atria have filled the ventricles of the heart with blood, the valves close- making the "heartbeat sound." The ventricles can then contract. If these valves didn't exist, then the blood would flow back into the atria, and you'd probably have a colossal heart attack and die. Isn't Biology a cheery subject?!
What else can I help you with?
Atrioventricular valve in the left ventricle called the bicuspid valve?
The atrioventricular valve on the left side of the heart is the bicuspid or mitral valve. The AV valve on the right is the tricuspid.
Why is the atrioventricular valve in the right ventricle called the tricuspid valve and the atrioventricular valve in the left called the bicuspid valve?
one has three cusps (tri) and the other has two (bi)
2 other names for the bicuspid valve?
left atrioventricular valve and left mitral valve
Other name for tricuspid valve?
Right atrioventricular valve
What is the another name for tricupsid valve?
The right atrioventricular valve.
The right atrioventricular valve is generally called the?
The Tricuspid valve
The atrioventricular valve on the left side of the heart is the?
Mitral Valve
What is the valve which sends blood to the right ventricle?
the right atrioventricular valve
Tricuspid valve other name?
Its called the atrioventricular valve or just AV valve
What is the another name for tricuspid valve?
the right AV valve
What are two of the valves of atrioventricular?
The bicuspid valve.
what does atrioventricular valve do?
The atrioventricular valve acts as a control device between the atria and the ventricles. They prevent blood from moving back into the atria during contraction.
