Detailed explanation-1: -Tricuspid valve: This valve has three leaflets. They allow blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your mitral valve opens to send blood from your left atrium to your left ventricle. When your left ventricle is full it squeezes, which closes your mitral valve and opens your aortic valve. Your heart sends blood through your aortic valve to your aorta, where it flows to the rest of your body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The mitral valve is one of four valves in the heart that keep blood flowing in the right direction. Each valve has flaps (leaflets) that open and close once during each heartbeat.

Detailed explanation-4: -Two of the valves, the mitral and the tricuspid valves, move blood from the upper chambers of the heart (the atria) to the lower chambers of the heart (the ventricles). The other two valves, the aortic and pulmonary valves, move blood to the lungs and the rest of the body through the ventricles.

Detailed explanation-5: -Tricuspid valve. Located between the right atrium and the right ventricle. Pulmonary valve. Located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. Mitral valve. Located between the left atrium and the left ventricle. Aortic valve.
