  2. Tricuspid valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricuspid_valve

    The tricuspid valve, or right atrioventricular valve, is on the right dorsal side of the mammalian heart, at the superior portion of the right ventricle.The function of the valve is to allow blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle during diastole, and to close to prevent backflow (regurgitation) from the right ventricle into the right atrium during right ventricular ...

  3. Mitral valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_valve

    The mitral valve (/ ˈmaɪtrəl /), also known as the bicuspid valve or left atrioventricular valve, is one of the four heart valves. It has two cusps or flaps and lies between the left atrium and the left ventricle of the heart. The heart valves are all one-way valves allowing blood flow in just one direction. The mitral valve and the ...

  4. Bicuspid aortic valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicuspid_aortic_valve

    Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a form of heart disease in which two of the leaflets of the aortic valve fuse during development in the womb resulting in a two-leaflet (bicuspid) valve instead of the normal three-leaflet (tricuspid) valve. BAV is the most common cause of heart disease present at birth and affects approximately 1.3% of adults. [2]

    Tricuspid valve or right atrioventricular valve, between the right atrium and right ventricle; Mitral valve or bicuspid valve, between the left atrium and left ventricle; Two semilunar valves to prevent the backflow of blood into the ventricle: Pulmonary valve, located at the opening between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk

  6. Cardiac physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_physiology

    The function of the right heart, is to collect de-oxygenated blood, in the right atrium, from the body via the superior vena cava, inferior vena cava and from the coronary sinus and pump it, through the tricuspid valve, via the right ventricle, through the semilunar pulmonary valve and into the pulmonary artery in the pulmonary circulation ...

  7. Aortic valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_valve

    The aortic valve is a valve in the heart of humans and most other animals, located between the left ventricle and the aorta. It is one of the four valves of the heart and one of the two semilunar valves, the other being the pulmonary valve. The aortic valve normally has three cusps or leaflets, although in 1–2% of the population it is found ...

  8. Papillary muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papillary_muscle

    FMA. 12154. Anatomical terms of muscle. [edit on Wikidata] The papillary muscles are muscles located in the ventricles of the heart. They attach to the cusps of the atrioventricular valves (also known as the mitral and tricuspid valves) via the chordae tendineae and contract to prevent inversion or prolapse of these valves on systole (or ...

  9. Heart sounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_sounds

    The first heart sound, or S 1, forms the "lub" of "lub-dub" and is composed of components M 1 (mitral valve closure) and T 1 (tricuspid valve closure). Normally M 1 precedes T 1 slightly. It is caused by the closure of the atrioventricular valves, i.e. tricuspid and mitral (bicuspid), at the beginning of ventricular contraction, or systole ...
