What are Valves and what are their functions.
Are flaps of tissue that open in only one direction. They prevent the backflow of blood ensuring it flows in one direction.

Tricuspid valve and the Bicuspid valve(mitral valve)
What is the tricuspid valve where is it located and whats it’s function?
It’s the Right AV valve. Located between the right atrium and right ventricle. It prevents backflow of deoxygenated blood into right atrium.
Where is the Bicuspid valve located and what does it prevent?
It’s the left AV valve, located between the left atrium and the left ventricle preventing the backflow of oxygenated blood into left atrium.
