Tricuspid valve

This video tutorial explores the anatomy and function of the tricuspid valve, a key component of the heart's atrioventricular valves. It details the valve's structure, including its three cusps and the subvalvular apparatus, which prevents backflow of blood. The tutorial also explains how the tricuspid valve contributes to heart sounds and offers additional resources for further learning.

What is the primary function of the tricuspid valve in the heart?

What role do the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles play in the function of the tricuspid valve?

Describe the structure of the tricuspid valve and its components.

How do the atrioventricular valves prevent backflow of blood during cardiac systole?

Explain the significance of the heart sounds, particularly the 'Lub' sound, in relation to the tricuspid valve.
