compare the structure of the tricuspid valve with that of the pulmonary valve
The mitral valve and the tricuspid valve are known collectively as the atrioventricular valves because they lie between the atria and the ventricles of the heart and control the flow of blood. A normally-functioning mitral valve opens secondary to increased pressure from the left atrium as it fills with blood.t has to withstand the pressure of 15 to 25 mmHg. The usual tricuspid valve area is 4-6 Cm2. * The pulmonary valve (sometimes referred to as the pulmonic valve) is the semilunar valve of the heart that lies between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery and has three cusps.
