Detailed explanation-1: -The tricuspid valve is one of four valves in the heart. It’s located between the right lower heart chamber (right ventricle) and the right upper heart chamber (right atrium). 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-2: -The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and right ventricle and has a valve area of 4-6 cm 2 (see the following image and video).
