Biology help!! What is Atrial valves?

What are Atrial valves??

Answer:

I've heard the term sometimes (though rarely) used instead of atrioventricular valves, the tricuspid (right) and bicuspid valves.
there isn't a sinoatrial valve in the human heart. There are 2 AV (atrioventricular) valves, and 2 semilunar valves, which are the aortic valve, and pulmonary valve. The AV valve seperate the atrium (on top) and ventricle (on bottom). Blood flows down from the atrium, to the ventricle, and then the AV valve closes to keep blood from going back into the atrium. While the valve is closed, the ventricle contracts, which send blood up through, the aorta ( left side) or the pulmonary trunk(right side). The semilunar valves seperate the ventricles from the aorta and the pulmonary trunk.
The aortic valve is one of the valves of the heart. It is normally tricuspid (with three leaflets), although in 1% of the population it is found to be congenitally bicuspid (two leaflets).[1] It lies between the left ventricle and the aorta.Check the link below for more information!
