tricuspid/ right atrioventricular valve.
the right AV valve
tricuspid valve
There are two Atrioventricular Valves in the heart. The first one, on the right side of the heart, is called the Tricuspid Valve (it has three 'flaps'). On the left side, the Atrioventricular Valve is called the Bicuspid or Mitral Valve (it has two 'flaps')
The valve between the right auricle (or atrium) and right ventricle is the tricuspid. The one between the left auricle and ventricle is the mitral. There is no valve between the left auricle and right ventricle.

Right atrioventricular valve
tricuspid/ right atrioventricular valve.
the right AV valve
The tricuspid valve is the valve that opens to allow blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle in the heart. This valve prevents blood from flowing back into the right atrium when the right ventricle contracts.
The right atrioventricular valve is known as the tricuspid valve because it has three leaflets or cusps that regulate blood flow between the right atrium and right ventricle.
tricuspid valve
from the name itself, the bicuspid valve contains two cusps or flaps and the tricuspid valve contains three cusps or flaps. they both prevent the blood from flowing back into the atria........
Tricuspid valve
The right atrioventricular valve is also called the tricuspid valve. It gets this name because it has three leaflets.
The tricuspid valve has three leaflets, or flaps, hence its name "tri" cuspid. These flaps help regulate the flow of blood between the right atrium and right ventricle of the heart.
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.
