The Right Ventricle
Blood travels from the right atrium into the right ventricle through
a broad opening bounded by three fibrous flaps. These flaps, or
‘cusps, are part ofthe right atrioventricular (AV) valve, also known
as the tricuspid (tri-KUS-pids tri, three) valve. The free edge of
each cusp is attached to tendinous connective-tissue fibers called
the chordae tendineae (KOR-d? TEN-
