what are the names of the four heart valves?
233337
The four heart valves include the following: tricuspid valve: located between the right atrium and the right ventricle. pulmonary valve: located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. mitral valve: located between the left atrium and the left ventricle.

The atrioventricular valves are located between the atria and the ventricles. They close during the start of ventricular contraction (systole), producing the first heart sound. There are two AV valves: Tricuspid valve – located between the right atrium and the right ventricle (right atrioventricular orifice).

['The right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from the body and pumps it to the right ventricle.', 'The right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs.', 'The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle.']

The tricuspid valve, or right atrioventricular valve, is on the right dorsal side of the mammalian heart, at the superior portion of the right ventricle.

The mitral valve and tricuspid valve are located between the atria (upper heart chambers) and the ventricles (lower heart chambers). The aortic valve and pulmonic valve are located between the ventricles and the major blood vessels leaving the heart.

The mitral valve has two leaflets. The anterior leaflet has a semi-circular shape and attaches to two fifths of the annular circumference. There is continuity between the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve and the left and non-coronary cusp of the neighboring aortic valve, referred to as the aortic-mitral curtain.

There are two semilunar valves: Pulmonary valve – located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk (pulmonary orifice). The valve consists of three cusps – left, right and anterior (named by their position in the foetus before the heart undergoes rotation).

The Heart Wall: The wall of the heart is composed of three layers, the thin outer epicardium, the thick middle myocardium, and the very thin inner endocardium.

Semilunar valves The aortic and pulmonary valves are located at the base of the aorta and the pulmonary trunk respectively. These are also called the "semilunar valves". ... The pulmonary valve (sometimes referred to as the pulmonic valve) lies between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery, and has three cusps.

There are four valves in your heart including the mitral, tricuspid, aortic and pulmonic valves. The aortic valve is located between the left ventricle (lower heart pumping chamber) and the aorta, which is the largest artery in the body. Valves maintain one-way blood flow through the heart.

Humans have a four-chambered heart consisting of the right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, and left ventricle. The atria are the two upper chambers.

Two of the valves, the mitral and the tricuspid valves, move blood from the upper chambers of the heart (the atria) to the lower chambers of the heart (the ventricles). The other two valves, the aortic and pulmonary valves, move blood to the lungs and the rest of the body through the ventricles.

This is the middle layer of the heart that contains the cardiac muscular tissue. ... ', 'Endocardium. This is the smooth innermost layer that keeps blood from sticking to the inside of the heart.']

Anatomical terminology. The mitral valve (/ˈmaɪtrəl/), also known as the bicuspid valve or left atrioventricular valve, is a valve with two flaps in the heart that lies between the left atrium and the left ventricle.

Bicuspid aortic valve is a type of abnormality in the aortic valve in the heart. In bicuspid aortic valve, the valve has only 2 small parts (leaflets), instead of the normal 3. This condition can be present from birth (congenital).

The most common congenital heart defect is a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). The aortic valve opens and shuts to allow blood flow from the heart to the aorta. The aorta is the major blood vessel bringing oxygen-rich blood to the body.
