Q

How does the triscupid valve close during ventricular systole?

A

During, diastole the tricuspid valve is open, directing the blood flow into the right ventricle; three cusps project into the right ventricle. Contraction of the papillary muscles attached to the cusps by the chordae tendinea prevents the cusps from being exerted into the right atrium (Keeps the valve closed).
