The atrioventricular vales separate the atria from the ventricles. The left AV valve is also known as the mitral valve, and the right is the tricuspid valve.

The right atrioventricular valve (or right AV valve), also called the tricuspid valve, (for its three leafletlobes) controls the flow of blood between the right atrium and right ventricle. (The opening itself is the "right atrioventricular canal.") It prevents dexoygenated blood from regurgitating back into the right atrium. The vale is called "tricuspid" because of its three leaflets; it must be noted however, that the tricuspid valve can contain between two and four leaflets.

There isn't a valve between the right atrium and left ventricle. The valve between the right atrium and right ventricle is the tricuspid valve; the valve between the left atrium and left ventricle is the mitral valve. If your right atrium is connected to your left ventricle, you have a condition known as AVSD (atrioventricular septal defect).

Blood enters the left atrium through the pulmonary veins, and is pumped into the left ventricle through the mitral valve.

blood does not flow from the right atrium to the left ventricle and therefore there is no valve that connects them

There is no valve connecting the left and right atria. The atria are separated by the interatrial septum.

The right atrioventricular valve is known as the tricuspid valve. On the left, the AV valve is called the mitral or bicuspid valve.

What valves separate the chambers of the heart?

1)Tricuspid valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle 2) Pulmonary (semilunar) valve separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary trunk leading to the pulmonary arteries 3) Bicuspid (Mitral) valve separates the left atrium from the left ventricle 4) Aortic valve separates the left ventricle from the aorta


What is the valve between the left ventricle and the blood vessel leaving the left ventricle?

The LEFT ventricle and pulmonary artery are not connected by a valve. The RIGHT ventricle is connected by the pulmonic valve. The mitral valve separates the left atrium from the left ventricle and the tricuspid valve seperates the right atrium from the right ventricle.


What valve separates the left atrium in the left ventricle?

What separates the ventricle of the heart from the atrium?

The AV valve. There is one for the right and left sides of the heart.


What is located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery?

If you are referring to the valve that separates the left atrium from the left ventricle, it is called the mitral valve.


What keeps the blood from flowing back into the right atrium after it has entered the right ventricle?

The tricuspid valve prevents the backflow of blood to the right atrium..The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle. It opens to allow the de-oxygenated blood collected in the right atrium to flow into the right ventricle. It closes as the right ventricle contracts, preventing blood from returning to the right atrium; thereby, forcing it to exit through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery.


What two structures does the bicuspid valve separates?

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