The atrioventricular (AV) valve consists of two main types: the tricuspid valve on the right side of the heart and the mitral valve on the left. Each valve is composed of flaps, or leaflets, made of fibrous tissue that open and close to regulate blood flow between the atria and ventricles. The valves are connected to papillary muscles via chordae tendineae, which help prevent backflow of blood by keeping the valve leaflets closed during ventricular contraction. This structure ensures efficient blood flow and maintains the proper pressure within the heart chambers.
