Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which two valves are located between the atria and the ventricles?
A
Bicuspid Valve and Aortic Valve
B
Aortic Valve and Tricuspid Valve
C
Pulmonic Valve and Aortic Valve
D
Bicuspid Valve and Tricuspid Valve
Explanation: 

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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The bicuspid or left atrioventricular valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle of the heart. It has two cusps. The tricuspid or right atrioventricular valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle. It has three cusps.

Detailed explanation-3: -The valve that is present between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart is called the bicuspid or mitral valve. It consists of two cusps or flaps that prevent the backflow of oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium.

Detailed explanation-4: -The tricuspid valve is one of four valves in the heart. It’s located between the right lower heart chamber (right ventricle) and the right upper heart chamber (right atrium). The tricuspid valve opens and closes to ensure that blood flows in the correct direction. It’s also called the right atrioventricular valve.
