Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Valves are located between the atria and ventricles in order to control blood flow and prevent backflow. On the right side of the heart, this valve is called the tricuspid valve. The tricuspid valve typically is composed of three flaps, hence the name "tri" cuspid, though this can actually vary from one individual to the next and also throughout the span of a person's life.
The bicuspid valve is found on the left side of the heart between the left atrium and left ventricle. The bicuspid valve typically contains two flaps, and may also be referred to as the mitral valve. These valves may also be called atrioventricular valves, or AV valves, as they are found between the atria and ventricles.
