Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The four heart valves include the following: 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: -Overview. There are four valves in the heart: aortic valve, mitral valve, tricuspid valve, and pulmonary valve.

Detailed explanation-3: -As a reminder, the heart has four major valves. The two valves on the left side of the heart are the aortic valve and the mitral valve, and the two valves on the right side are the pulmonary valve and the tricuspid valve.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each valve typically has three flaps, except for the mitral valve, which has two. Any of the four valves can become leaky. This means that just after the heart squeezes and pumps blood forward, some blood will leak backward through the valve. Leaking through the valve is also called valve regurgitation.
