- The tricuspid valve is between the right atrium and right ventricle.
- The pulmonary or pulmonic valve is between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.
- The mitral valve is between the left atrium and left ventricle.
- The aortic valve is between the left ventricle and the aorta.
Between the right atrium leading into the right ventricle is an atrioventricular valve called the Tricuspid valve. It is named for the three flaps from which it is made. Between the right ventricle and the pulmonary veins is a semilunar valve called the Pulmonary valve. Coming in between the left atrium and the left ventricle is an atrioventricular valve known as the Mitral valve (the shape is similar to the mitres worn by bishops) then in between the left ventricle and the aorta is a semilunar valve called the Aortic valve.

Can you list all of the valves in the heart?
Aortic, Bicuspid,tricuspid and Pulmonic valves.
What are the receiving areas of the heart?
all the valves
How many sets of valves does a horses heart have?
As in all mammals, horses have four valves in their hearts.
Do arterioles contain non return valves?
you find non return valves inside the heart, lymph and veines, avoiding fluids from flowing backwards > [veinous blood in veines and heart, oxygenated blood in the heart]. Lymph vessels have valves also. The portal vein though contains no valves. All arteries including arteriols and capillaries have no valves.
Name all the valves of the heart?
The valves in the heart are:Between the right atrium and the right ventricle is the tricuspid valve.Between the left atrium and the left ventricle is the bicuspid valve.In the pulmonary artery and aorta are the semi lunar valves.
What is the definition of valve?
Heart valves: There are four heart valves. All are one-way valves. Blood entering the heart first passes through the tricuspid valve and then the pulmonary valve. After returning from the lungs, the blood passes through the mitral (bicuspid) valve and exits via the aortic valve.
Do valves in the heart let the blood travel in all directions?
No the way the valves of the heart are set up causes the blood to move in one direction only.

What is a relaxed heart?
Called relaxation period of heart. when all 4 valves are closed, and the blood is filling the 2 atria through the vein.
Why do the hearts valve close?
In a 4-chambered heart animal, the valves on the heart close to prevent back-flow from the ventricle into the atrium. In this way, the valves assure that the heart propels the blood forward with sufficient pressure and volume to reach all regions of the body.
What procedure is used to look at the action of heart valves?
The best procedure to visualize the heart valves and how they are functioning is a Cardiac Catheterization. Very simply, and under no anesthesia, an IV catheter is threaded into the heart so the heart and all it's structures and functions can be visualized and assessed. The patient is awake the whole time, and can see their own heart on the monitor!
