ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The tricuspid valve consists of three thin flaps of tissue (called cusps, or leaflets). These valve flaps open to let blood flow from the upper right chamber (right atrium) to the lower right chamber (right ventricle). The valve flaps then close tightly to prevent the blood from moving backward.

Detailed explanation-2: -Aortic valve: This valve has three leaflets. They open to let blood flow from your heart’s left ventricle to the aorta. The aorta is the largest blood vessel in your body. It brings oxygenated blood from your heart to the rest of your body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The tricuspid valve is made of three thin but strong flaps of tissue. They’re called leaflets or cusps. The leaflets are named by their positions: anterior, posterior and septal. They attach to the papillary muscles of the ventricle with thin, strong cords called chordae tendineae.

Detailed explanation-4: -tricuspid valve: located between the right atrium and the right ventricle.

Detailed explanation-5: -…of the heart is the tricuspid valve, composed of three flaps of tissue; on the left is the two-piece mitral valve.
