the right atrium is like a container where the blood is drained from the body to be passed to the right ventricle.

But the bicuspid valve acts like a one way route maintainer. which is to direct the blood flow to flow left atrium to the left ventricle only not the other way around.

Another name for the bicuspid valve?

These are the valves of the human heart. The bicuspid (or mitral) valves each have two large flaps, curved to close the rear entrance of a chamber, through which blood enters. The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle. It normally has three flaps but may have two or even four flaps, and this can change with age.


Where are the bicuspid tricuspid pulmonic and aortic valves located?

The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and right ventricle, and it's there because it prevents blood from flowing backward from the right ventricle to the right atrium. The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and right ventricle, and it's there because it prevents blood from flowing backward from the right ventricle to the right atrium.


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.


What is the valve between between the left atrium and left ventricle?

right atrium - right ventricle = TRICUSPID VALVE; right ventricle - lungs = PULMONARY SEMILUNAR VALVE; lungs - left atrium = not really a valve, more a perforation in the left pericardium; left atrium - left ventricle = MITRAL VALVE; left ventricle - aorta = AORTIC SEMILUNAR VALVE.


Where does blood flow to after it leaves the left atrium and passes through the bicuspid?

Into the right ventricle.


How many flaps of tissue make up the valves between the right atrium and right ventricle?

The antrioventricular valve has two valves. The bicuspid valve has 2 flaps and in located in the right ventricle/right atrium. The tricuspid valve has 3 flaps and is located in the left ventricle/left atrium.


What are the valves found between the lower and upper chambers of the rights and left side of the heart?

On the right sie of the heart, there is a right atrium and right ventricle that are separated by the tricuspid valve or Atrioventricular valve. The left atrium and left ventricle are separated by the bicuspid or mitral valve.


What Heart valves are found between the upper and lower chambers of the heart compare them also.?

Upper chambers of heart are the left and right atrium Lower are the left and right ventrical atrioventricular valves separate the two. Bicuspid (mitrial) valve separates the left atrium/ventrical and the tricuspid separates the right atrium/ventrical.


What do the bicuspid and tricuspid do?

To prevent the back flow of blood into the left and right atrium when the ventricles contract


What two structures does the bicuspid valve separates?

Left Atrium and Left Ventricle. Its right heart sided counterpart is the tricuspid valve.
