Aortic & Tricuspid Valves

Detailed explanation-1: -The aortic valve is composed of three cusps, the left coronary, right coronary and non-coronary cusps, named for their relationship to the coronary arteries (15).
Detailed explanation-2: -The aortic valve has three cusps: the left coronary cusp (LCC), the right coronary cusp (RCC), and the non-coronary cusp (NCC).
Detailed explanation-3: -Pulmonary Valve (or Pulmonic Valve) Has three leaflets. Separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary artery.
Detailed explanation-4: -A normal aortic valve (see below) has three leaflets (also known as flaps or cusps). These open and close to control the flow of blood into the aorta from the left ventricle of the heart as it beats. When the flaps come together as the valve closes, the shape is like a circle divided into thirds.
