  2. Heart valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_valve

    Heart valves are opened or closed by a difference in blood pressure on each side. [1] [2] [3] The mammalian heart has two atrioventricular valves separating the upper atria from the lower ventricles: the mitral valve in the left heart, and the tricuspid valve in the right heart.

  3. Cardiac cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_cycle

    Cardiac (ventricular) systole: Both AV valves (tricuspid in the right heart (light-blue), mitral in the left heart (pink)) are closed by back-pressure as the ventricles are contracted and their blood volumes are ejected through the newly-opened pulmonary valve (dark-blue arrow) and aortic valve (dark-red arrow) into the pulmonary trunk and ...

  4. Chordae tendineae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chordae_tendineae

    Chordae tendineae are relaxed because the atrioventricular valves are forced open. [6] When the ventricles of the heart contract in ventricular systole, the increased blood pressures in both chambers push the AV valves to close simultaneously, preventing the backflow of blood into the atria. Since the blood pressure in the atria is much lower ...

  5. Isovolumetric contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isovolumetric_contraction

    As diastole ends, the ventricles begin depolarizing and, while ventricular pressure starts to rise owing to contraction, the atrioventricular valves close in order to prevent backflow to the atria. At this stage, which corresponds to the R peak or the QRS complex seen on an ECG, the semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonary valves) are also closed.

  6. Tricuspid valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricuspid_valve

    The tricuspid valve, or right atrioventricular valve, is on the right dorsal side of the mammalian heart, at the superior portion of the right ventricle.The function of the valve is to allow blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle during diastole, and to close to prevent backflow (regurgitation) from the right ventricle into the right atrium during right ventricular ...

  9. Cardiac physiology - Wikipedia

    The semilunar valves close to prevent backflow into the heart. Since the atrioventricular valves remain closed at this point, there is no change in the volume of blood in the ventricle, so the early phase of ventricular diastole is called the isovolumic ventricular relaxation phase, also called isovolumetric ventricular relaxation phase.
