PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The heart has 4 chambers, 2 upper chambers (atria) and 2 lower chambers (ventricles). Blood passes through a valve before leaving each chamber of the heart. The valves prevent the backward flow of blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The mitral and tricuspid atrioventricular (AV) valves separate the atria from the ventricles, while the aortic and pulmonary semilunar (SL) valves separate the ventricles from the great arteries. AV valves have leaflets and SL valves have cusps.
