The AV or atrioventricular valves are the valves which separate the upper chambers (the atria) from the lower chambers (ventricles) of the heart.
The AV valve on the left side of the heart is known as the left atrioventricular (AV) valve or the mitral valve.
The AV valve on the right side of the heart is known as the right atrioventricular (AV) valve or the tricuspid valve.

∙ 13y agoThe left AV (atrioventricular) valve, in your perspective, is actually located on the right side of the heart (just as stage directions are in the point of view of the actors, anatomical terms and directions are in the point of view of the onlooker). It is, as the name suggests, in between the left atrium and the left ventricle.

∙ 12y agoAV stands for atrioventricular valve. It is the name for the valves the separate the atria and venctricles. This includes the mitral (bicuspid) and tricuspid valves.

How do the letters AV indicate heart valve location?
The letters AV refer to the atrioventricular valves. There is one on each side of the heart between the atrial and venticular chambers. The one on the right side of the heart is called the right atrioventricular valve, or the ticuspid valve. The one on the left side of the heart is called the left atrioventricular valve, bicuspid valve, or mitral valve.
What parts of the heart pump blood into the ventricles?
It flows through the atrioventricular (AV) valves. The right AV valve is the tricuspid valve, and the left AV valve is the bicuspid or mitral valve.
Atrioventricular valve in the left ventricle called the bicuspid valve?
The atrioventricular valve on the left side of the heart is the bicuspid or mitral valve. The AV valve on the right is the tricuspid.
Do you see tiny ''doors'' that open and close as blood is pumped through the heart?
These "doors" are the following valves:Tricuspid Valve - arterioventricular valve of the right sidePulmonary Semilunar Valve - right side of the heartMitral or Bicuspid Valve - AV valve of the left sideAortic Semilunar Valve - left side of the heart
Where does blood flow after the right AV valve?
After the right AV valve, the blood flows into the right ventricle.

Which of the following is not part of the conduction system of the heart?
The AV ValveAV Valve
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 the AV valve with three falps in the heart?
The tricuspid valve. This is the one between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
What parts of the heart pump blood into the ventricles?
It flows through the atrioventricular (AV) valves. The right AV valve is the tricuspid valve, and the left AV valve is the bicuspid or mitral valve.
Atrioventricular valve in the left ventricle called the bicuspid valve?
The atrioventricular valve on the left side of the heart is the bicuspid or mitral valve. The AV valve on the right is the tricuspid.
Strings attached to AV cusps?
The chordae tendineae, or heart strings, are cord-like tendons that connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart.

How do you Distinguish between AV valve and semi lunar valve?
AV VALVE ARISE FROM FIBRUOS SKELETAL OF THE HEART TO BE END IN A TENDON THAT ATTACHED TO PAPILARY MUSCLE ( BEING ATTACHED BY BOTH SIDES )PRESENT IN HEART BUT SEMILUNAR VALVE ARISE FROM FOLDED IN ENDOTHELIUM NEAR THE ROOT OF AORTA AND HAS A FREELY END (BEING ATTACHED AT ONE SIDE AT ITS ORIGIN )PRESENT IN AORTA AND PULMONARU TRUNK.
Function of heart strings?
They connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart. also i like bananas :)
Where does blood flow after the right AV valve?
After the right AV valve, the blood flows into the right ventricle.
What AV and semilunar valve positions during ventricular diastole?
The AV valve is open and the semilunar valve is closed during ventricular diastole.
