The atrioventricular valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle is called the bicuspid valve (also known as the mitral valve), and the atrioventricular valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle is called the tricuspid valve.
The atrioventricular valves are located between the atria and the ventricles. They close during the start of ventricular contraction (systole), producing the first heart sound. There are two AV valves: Tricuspid valve â located between the right atrium and the right ventricle (right atrioventricular orifice).
