The heart valves- the bicuspid and tricuspid valves- are there to prevent blood from back-welling into the atria after atrial systole (contraction). Once the atria have filled the ventricles of the heart with blood, the valves close- making the "heartbeat sound." The ventricles can then contract. If these valves didn't exist, then the blood would flow back into the atria, and you'd probably have a colossal heart attack and die. Isn't Biology a cheery subject?!

What is the function of the tendinous cords?
The tendinious cord is located in the ventricles,ie., it connects the papillary muscle at one end and atrio-ventricular valves(mitral or bicuspid valve and tricuspid valve).The function is just transmitting the force from the pappilary muscles to the atrio-ventricular valves and make the valve open during the atrial contraction or systole, and allow the blood to flow into the ventricles.
What does caecelius est in atrio est mean?
Caecilius is in the atrium.
What is the function of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles of the bicuspid and tricuspid valves?
The tendinous cords are located in the ventricles. The function of the tendinous cords that are attached to the bicuspid and tricuspid valves is to connect the atrio-ventricular valves to the papillary muscles.
What are the valves between the atria and the ventricles called?
Atrio-ventricular valves
What is porch in Spanish?
portico (accent on first 'o') vestibulo (accent on 'i') atrio
What does metella est in atrio mean in English?
It means 'Metella is in the atrium/main room.'
Right atrio ventricular valve is tricuspid having low pressure while left atrio ventricular valve is bicuspid while having high pressure Why?
Pressure levels differ in the tricuspid and the bicuspid because of pressure gradients as influenced by volume of inflows.
What is another name for atrio-ventricular valves?
Bicuspid or tricuspid valves, depending on which side of the heart you are talking about
What causes the atrio ventricular valves to close?
The rise in pressure inside the ventricles, when the walls of the ventricles contract.
What does the foramen ovale of a fetus become after birth?
It gets obliterated, and hence the atrio-ventricular shunt no more remains functional.
Id like to know what is to long to consider for a 1st degree block .22 to?
First degree atrio-ventricular node block is a PR segment longer than 0.2 seconds.
What is the function of the Atrio-Ventricular valve?
