tricuspid valve

An atrioventricular valve that is part of the outflow part of the right atrium. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the tricuspid valve is

An atrioventricular valve that is part of the outflow part of the right atrium. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the tricuspid valve is

It sits in the thorax and trunk, within the cardiovascular system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What the tricuspid valve connects to

The atlas records 11 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of outflow part of right atrium and right cardiac atrium.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the tricuspid valve. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as right atrioventricular valve, valva atrioventricularis dextra and valvula tricuspidalis. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the tricuspid valve?

It sits in the thorax and trunk, within the cardiovascular system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What does the tricuspid valve connect to?

Part of: outflow part of right atrium and right cardiac atrium.

Is the tricuspid valve the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
