What is the structure of the right artiventricular valve?

The right atrioventricular valve, also known as the tricuspid valve, consists of three leaflets or cusps: the anterior, posterior, and septal cusps. These leaflets are anchored to the right ventricle by chordae tendineae, which connect to papillary muscles that help maintain valve closure during ventricular contraction. The valve regulates blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle and prevents backflow during ventricular systole. Its structure is crucial for ensuring unidirectional blood flow within the heart.
