I'm drawing a complete diagram of the heart, but I'm unsure of the positions of the different valves. I know there are the pulmoary valve, the aortic valve, tricuspid/right AV, bicuspid/left AV, semilunar valves, mitral...but I know there are several names for some of them, like I think the mitral and the bicuspid are the same...but there are so many sources online I don't know which to believe. If anyone knows for absolute sure the right names and where they are it would be very appreciated if you could help :)
There are 4 valves on the heart. Right atrium Left ventricle Left atrium Right ventricle. The atriums are the top of the heart...the more smaler ones and the ventricles are th larger ones which are below the atriums.
well right= Tricuspid valve left=Mitral valve good luck
the bicuspid is the same as the mitral valve it seems like anatomy has 12 names for everything In anatomy, the heart valves maintain the unidirectional flow of blood in the heart by opening and closing depending on the difference in pressure on each side. They are mechanically similar to reed valves. There are four valves in the heart (not counting the valve of the coronary sinus, and the valve of the inferior vena cava): The two atrioventricular (AV) valves between the atria and the ventricles, also called tricuspid and bicuspid. The two semilunar (SL) valves, in the arteries leaving the heart, also called pulmonary and aortic. This I know for sure. Drawing pictures always helped me keep it straight and I just got an A in anatomy. best of luck to you
