Detailed explanation-1: -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: located between the left ventricle and the aorta.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bicuspid aortic valve is a type of abnormality in the aortic valve in the heart. In bicuspid aortic valve, the valve has only two small parts, called leaflets, instead of the normal three. This condition is present from birth. It can occur with other heart defects.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pulmonary valve has three cusps: the anterior cusp (AC), the left cusp (LC), and the right cusp (RC). The tricuspid valve has three leaflets named the anterior (A), septal (S), and posterior (P). The pulmonary valve separates the right ventricular outflow tract of the right ventricle from the pulmonary trunk.
