The right atrioventricular valve, also known as the tricuspid valve, functions to regulate blood flow between the right atrium and the right ventricle of the heart. It prevents the backflow of blood into the atrium when the ventricle contracts, ensuring that deoxygenated blood flows efficiently into the pulmonary artery for oxygenation in the lungs. The valve consists of three cusps and plays a crucial role in maintaining proper circulation within the heart.

the right AV valve
Another name for the right atrioventricular valve is the tricuspid valve. (3 -tri- on the right; 2 on the left/mitral valve)
Right atrioventricular valve
The Tricuspid valve
The right atrioventricular 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.
right ventricle
one has three cusps (tri) and the other has two (bi)
The tricuspid valve or also called the right atrioventricular valve.
You tell me that is why I'm asking
The letters AV refer to the atrioventricular valves. There is one on each side of the heart between the atrial and venticular chambers. The one on the right side of the heart is called the right atrioventricular valve, or the ticuspid valve. The one on the left side of the heart is called the left atrioventricular valve, bicuspid valve, or mitral valve.
