Solution

The correct option is A

Right atrium and ventricle


The correct option is A.

Explanation of the correct option:

  1. Valves in the heart act like doors and ensure that the blood flows in correct direction.
  2. They prevent the backward flow of blood.
  3. The 4 heart valves include the following:
  • Tricuspid valve: Located between the right atrium and the right ventricle.
  • Pulmonary valve: Located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.
  • Mitral or bicuspid valve: Located between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
  • Aortic valve: Located between the left ventricle and the aorta.

4. All four valves open and close to help move blood from one area to another.

5.Two of the valves, the mitral and the tricuspid valves, move blood from the upper chambers of the heart (the atria) to the lower chambers of the heart (the ventricles).

6.The other two valves, the aortic and pulmonary valves, move blood to the lungs and the rest of the body through the ventricles.

Explanation of the incorrect option

Option B:

There is no valve present between two atria.

Option C:

There is no valve present between two ventricles.

Option D:

Mitral or bicuspid valve is present between left atrium and left ventricle.

Final answer: Tricuspid valve is present between right atrium and ventricle.
