Solution

Bicuspid valve:
It is an aortic valve with two cusps found between the left ventricle and left atrium.
An untreated bicuspid aortic valve can lead to symptoms of heart failure.
Tricuspid valve:
It is an aortic valve with three cusps found between the right ventricle and right atrium.
This valve allows deoxygenated blood to flow through the function of the heart chambers.
The right ventricle transports blood to the lungs where it gets oxygenated.
Bicuspid Valve
Tricuspid valve
It is located between the left atrium and left ventricle.
It is located between the right atrium and right ventricle.
2. The bicuspid valve is the left atrioventricular valve. 2. The tricuspid valve is also known as the right atrioventricular valve.
3. The bicuspid valve prevents the reverse flow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium. 3. The tricuspid valve prevents the reverse flow of blood from the right ventricle to the right atrium.
