trikuspidaliventtiili

The trikuspidaliventtiili, also known as the tricuspid valve, is one of the four main valves of the heart. It is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle. The valve consists of three leaflets, or cusps, which are flaps of tissue that open and close to regulate blood flow. Its primary function is to ensure that blood flows in only one direction through the heart, preventing backflow from the right ventricle into the right atrium. During the cardiac cycle, when the right atrium contracts, the trikuspidaliventtiili opens, allowing deoxygenated blood to enter the right ventricle. When the right ventricle then contracts to pump blood to the lungs, the trikuspidaliventtiili closes, preventing blood from returning to the atrium. Issues with the trikuspidaliventtiili can lead to various heart conditions, such as trikuspidaliregurgitaatio (tricuspid regurgitation), where the valve does not close properly, allowing blood to leak backward, or trikuspidalistenoosi (tricuspid stenosis), where the valve opening is narrowed, restricting blood flow. These conditions can affect the heart's ability to pump blood efficiently throughout the body.
