[CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
|
|
|
closes off the lower left chamber that holds the oxygen-rich blood before it is pumped out to the body
|
|
|
opens to allow blood to the left ventricle, then closes to prevent blood from flowing back into left atrium
|
|
|
closes when the ventricle squeezes blood out to the lungs and then opens to let more blood into the ventricle.
|
|
|
valve acts as a doorway that lets blood into and out of the heart
|
Detailed explanation-1: -When the right atrium fills, the tricuspid valve opens, letting blood into the right ventricle. Then the right ventricle contracts to send blood to the lungs. The tricuspid valve closes tightly so that blood does not go backward into the right atrium.
Detailed explanation-2: -The tricuspid valves job is to allow blood flowing into the heart from the body to flow to the right ventricle where it’s pumped to the lungs for oxygen. If the tricuspid valve is leaky, blood can flow backwards, causing the heart to pump harder. Over time, the heart becomes enlarged and functions poorly.
Detailed explanation-3: -When the right atrium is full, the tricuspid heart valve opens to allow the deoxygenated blood to flow into the right ventricle. The right ventricle then fills with the deoxygenated blood. As pressure changes in the right atrium and right ventricle, the tricuspid heart valve closes.
