Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The valve between the right atrium and ventricle of the heart is the
A
pulmonic semilunar
B
tricuspid
C
bicuspid
D
aortic semilunar
Explanation: 

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, located between the right atrium and the right ventricle; the pulmonary valve, between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery; the mitral valve, between the left atrium and left ventricle; and. the aortic valve, between the left ventricle and the aorta.

Detailed explanation-3: -The tricuspid valve sits between the heart’s two right chambers. 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).

Detailed explanation-4: -Tricuspid valve: This valve has three leaflets. They allow blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle. They also prevent blood from flowing backward from the right ventricle to the right atrium. Pulmonary valve: This valve also has three leaflets.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
