MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The four heart valves include the following: 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are four valves in the heart: aortic valve, mitral valve, tricuspid valve, and pulmonary valve. The valves are designed to control the direction of blood flow through the heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -The left and right ventricles contact. This closes the mitral and tricuspid valves preventing back blood flow. At the same time, the aortic and pulmonic valves open to let blood be pumped out of the heart.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each valve typically has three flaps, except for the mitral valve, which has two. Any of the four valves can become leaky. This means that just after the heart squeezes and pumps blood forward, some blood will leak backward through the valve. Leaking through the valve is also called valve regurgitation.
