The valve that separates the right atrium and the right ventricle is the
A
bicuspid valve
B
tricuspid valve
C
aortic semilunar valve
D
pulmonary semilunar valve
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Separates the top right chamber (right atrium) from the bottom right chamber (right ventricle). Opens to allow blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The tricuspid valve controls the flow of blood from your heart’s right atrium (top chamber) to the right ventricle (bottom chamber). Blood can leak backward into the atrium from the leaky tricuspid valve, causing your heart to pump harder to move blood through the valve.
