Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
which valve is located between the right atrium and right ventricle
A
mitral
B
tricuspid
C
bicuspid
D
aortic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -tricuspid valve: located between the right atrium and the right ventricle.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The tricuspid valve is on the right side of the heart. It separates the upper and lower chambers, also known as the right atrium and ventricle. The valve allows deoxygenated blood to flow through both of the chambers. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs, where it will be oxygenated.

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.
