The heart consists of four chambers, two atria (upper chambers) and two ventricles (lower chambers). There is a valve through which blood passes before leaving each chamber of the heart. The valves prevent the backward flow of blood. These valves are actual flaps that are located on each end of the two ventricles (lower chambers of the heart). They act as one-way inlets of blood on one side of a ventricle and one-way outlets of blood on the other side of a ventricle. Each valve has three flaps, except the mitral valve, which has two flaps. The four heart valves include the following: tricuspid valve - located between the right atrium and the right ventricle pulmonary valve - located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery mitral valve - located between the left atrium and the left ventricle aortic valve - located between the left ventricle and the aorta How do the heart valves function?

Blood is pushed back into the major veins instead of moving forward into the lungs, where it can be oxygenated.

Aortic Valve Causes The main cause of tricuspid regurgitation is enlargement of the right ventricle. This may be attributed to any disorder that causes right ventricular failure, such as increased pressure in the pulmonary artery. Damage to the tricuspid valve may be caused by rheumatic fever.

As the heart muscle contracts and relaxes, the valves open and close, letting blood flow into the ventricles and out to the body at alternate times. The following is a step-by-step illustration of how the valves function normally in the left ventricle:
