Tricuspid valve

The key difference between AV valves and semilunar valves is that the AV valves allow blood to flow from atria to ventricles while the semilunar valves all

Valves of the heart ensure the one way flow. The AV valves are located between the atrium and ventricles and regulate the openings between them. The left AV valve is also called mitral valve and the right AV valve is also called the tricuspid valve. The aortic and pulmonary valve (semilunar valves) regulate blood flow from ventricles to the greater arteries.

Tricuspid valve regurgitation is when the valve between your right atrium and right ventricle doesn’t fully close. This causes some blood to flow the wrong way.
