  2. Tricuspid valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricuspid_valve

    The tricuspid valve functions as a one-way valve that closes during ventricular systole to prevent regurgitation of blood from the right ventricle back into the right atrium. It opens during ventricular diastole, allowing blood to flow from the right atrium into the right ventricle. The back flow of blood is also known as regression or ...

  3. Mitral valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_valve

    The mitral valve and the tricuspid valve are known as the atrioventricular valves because they lie between the atria and the ventricles. [1] In normal conditions, blood flows through an open mitral valve during diastole with contraction of the left atrium, and the mitral valve closes during systole with contraction of the left ventricle. The ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_cycle

    The section shows: 1) the opened ventricles contracting once per heartbeat—that is, once per each cardiac cycle; 2) the (partly obscured) mitral valve of the left heart; 3) the tricuspid and pulmonary valves of the right heart—note these paired valves open and close oppositely. + (The aortic valve of the left heart is located below the ...

  5. Heart valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_valve

    Tricuspid atresia is the complete absence of the tricuspid valve which can lead to an underdeveloped or absent right ventricle. Pulmonary atresia is the complete closure of the pulmonary valve. Ebstein's anomaly is the displacement of the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve causing a larger atrium and a smaller ventricle than normal.

  6. Heart sounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_sounds

    The first heart sound, or S 1, forms the "lub" of "lub-dub" and is composed of components M 1 (mitral valve closure) and T 1 (tricuspid valve closure). Normally M 1 precedes T 1 slightly. It is caused by the closure of the atrioventricular valves, i.e. tricuspid and mitral (bicuspid), at the beginning of ventricular contraction, or systole ...

  7. Systole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systole

    The time variable for the right systolic cycle is measured from (tricuspid) valve-open to valve-closed. The contractions of atrial systole fill the left ventricle with oxygen-enriched blood through the mitral valve; when the left atrium is emptied or closed, left atrial systole is ended and ventricular systole is about to begin.
