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.
The 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.
AV 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.
Atrioventricular valves allow blood to pass through to the ventricles.
to allow blood to flow from the atria into the ventricles and to prevent the blood from flowing back into the atria while the ventricles contract

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
Function of heart strings?
They connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart. also i like bananas :)

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.
What is the RIGHT AV also known as?
The right atrioventricular (AV) valve is also known as the tricuspid valve, because it has three leaflets or cusps that help regulate blood flow between the right atrium and right ventricle in the heart.
Which of the following is not part of the conduction system of the heart?
The tricuspid valve is not part of the conduction system of the heart. The conduction system consists of the sinoatrial (SA) node, atrioventricular (AV) node, bundle of His, and Purkinje fibers, which coordinate the electrical impulses that regulate the heartbeat.
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
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.
Strings attached to AV cusps?
Strings or chordae tendineae are attached to the atrioventricular (AV) valve cusps within the heart. These structures help to anchor the valve leaflets in place and prevent them from prolapsing back into the atria during ventricular contraction. Dysfunction of the chordae tendineae can lead to regurgitation of blood flow across the valves.
