APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -There are two such valves, one situated between each atrium and the ipsilateral (on the same side) ventricle. The right atrioventricular valve is also known as the tricuspid valve, and the left atrioventricular valve is also known as the mitral valve.

Detailed explanation-2: -The tricuspid valve opens and closes to ensure that blood flows in the correct direction. It’s also called the right atrioventricular valve.

Detailed explanation-3: -These valves are also known as the semilunar valves. The heart valves regulate blood flowing through the heart. After the atria fill with blood, the mitral and tricuspid valves open to allow the blood to flow from the atria into the ventricles.

Detailed explanation-4: -The right atrioventricular valve has three cusps, and is therefore called the tricuspid valve, while the left atrioventricular valve has two cusps, and is known as the bicuspid or mitral valve-mitral because it is said to resemble a bishops mitre.
