Heart ValvesHow do they work?

Heart Valves permit only one direction

of blood flow

Tricuspid Valve: This valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle, and regulates the blood flow between them.

Tricuspid Valve:It allows blood to flow from the right atrium into the right ventricle, and prevent back flow of the same.

Pulmonary Valve: This valve separates the right ventricle from the left pulmonary artery.

Pulmonary Valve: These valves control the flow of blood from the right ventricle into the left pulmonary artery.

Mitral Valve: Bicuspid valve or Mitral valve separates the left ventricle from the left atrium.

Aortic Valve: This valve separates the left ventricle from the aorta, and controls the blood flow from the ventricle into the rest of the body.
