The mitral valve is also known as the bicuspid valve because it has two flaps (or cusps). The pulmonic valve is the valve located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery, the semilunar valve is a term for both the aortic and pulmonic valve, and the tricuspid valve is the valve located between the right atrium and the right ventricle.
