Number of cusps in the left AV valve and right AV valve?

Your answer is in the name of each valve actually. The left atrioventricular valve (AV) can also be called the bicuspid valve and the right atrioventricular valve can also be called the tricuspid vavle. If you think back to what you may have learned in Anatomy and Physiology 1, a word that has "uni" attached to the front of it usually means one or single, a word that has "bi" attached to the front of it usually means two or double, and a word that has "tri" attached to the front of it usually means three or triple. So to answer your question, the left atrioventricular valve, which is also known as the bicuspid valve has two cusps and the right atrioventricular valve, which is also known as the tricuspid valve has three cusps.
