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: -Pulmonary Valve (or Pulmonic Valve) Separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary artery. Opens to allow blood to be pumped from the right ventricle to the lungs (through the pulmonary artery) where it will receive oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -The aortic and pulmonic valves are known as the semilunar valves, whereas the tricuspid and mitral valves are referred to as the atrioventricular valves. All the valves are trileaflet, with the exception of the mitral valve, which has 2 leaflets.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are two types of heart valves; the atrioventricular valves (mitral, tricuspid) and the semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonic).
