What AV valve has two flaps?

The tricuspid valve has two flaps. It is located between the right atrium and right ventricle in the heart, and it helps prevent blood from flowing back into the right atrium when the right ventricle contracts.


Identify the structure of the human heart which is valve between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart consisting of two triangular flaps of tissue that prevents blood from flowing back into?

The structure of the human heart you are referring to is the mitral valve, also known as the bicuspid valve. It is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle and consists of two triangular flaps of tissue. The mitral valve ensures that blood flows in one direction, preventing it from flowing back into the left atrium when the left ventricle contracts.


What are the name of he snow hats with the ear flaps?

Those hats are called trapper hats or aviator hats. They are typically lined with warm material like faux fur and have flaps that can be secured under the chin to keep the ears warm in cold weather.


What is a synonym for 'tricuspid'?

Tricuspid valve (located between the Rigth Atrium and Right Ventricle in the heart) is also known as the Right Atrioventricular valve. The name "Tricuspid" indicates its structure, or form, as it has three flaps (or cusps), against the Bicuspid Valve (located between the Left Atrium and the Left Ventricle), which only has two. For more info see the related links.


What are the the tiny white cords that anchor the cusps or flaps of endocardium to the walls of the ventricles called?

The tiny white cords that anchor the cusps or flaps of endocardium to the walls of the ventricles are called chordae tendineae. These cord-like structures help prevent the cusps of the heart valves from prolapsing into the atria when the heart contracts.

Do the flaps of the aortic valve close when the ventricles squeeze so blood can't flow back into the atrium?

No. When the flaps of the aortic valve close, they prevent the flow of blood into the ventricle. The flaps of the atrioventricular valves close to prevent the flow of blood back into the atria.


The beating sound your heart makes comes from?

From the closure of the two flaps of the mitral valve in the left ventricle


Which valve separates the right atrium and the right ventricleAsk us anything?

The valve that separates the right atrium and the right ventricle is called the tricuspid valve. It consists of three flaps (or cusps) that open and close to regulate blood flow from the atrium to the ventricle, preventing backflow when the ventricle contracts. This valve plays a crucial role in maintaining efficient circulation within the heart.


Which is the valve present between the left auricle and the left ventricle?

The valve present between the left auricle and the left ventricle is the mitral valve, also known as the bicuspid valve. It consists of two flaps that open and close to regulate blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle and prevent backflow of blood.


Why are the valves at the start of the aorta called semilunar valves?

Because there are crescent shaped, like half moons :)


What are the flaps on an airplane called?

They are quite literally called flaps, and they make the plane go up, down, left and right.


What is the function of the chords attached to the valve flaps between the atria and the ventricle?

These chords are called the Chordea Tendinae. Their function is to stop the valves from invertung back into the atria. If they weeken and stretch they start to allow the valves to be pushed back into the atria, this is called floppy valve syndrome.
