There are two valves in the heart. They are tricuspid valve and bicuspid valve.There is a possibility of the blood going back into the atria. This is prevented by these two â¦ valves, the tricuspid valve on the right side and the bicuspid valve on the left side.
Atrioventricular valves - 3 on the right side. These are called the Tricuspid valves. Allows blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle 2 on the left side. These are called the Bicuspid valves, also known as the Mitral Valve.
