The right auricle opens into the right ventricle, this opening is guarded by the tricuspid valve (having three cusps or flaps). Similarly, the opening between the left auricle and the left ventricle is guarded by the bicuspid valve (having two cusps or flaps). These valves regulate the flow of blood in one direction i.e., from auricles into the ventricles.
The blood flows from the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery and from the left ventricle into the aorta (the largest artery). The flow of blood from the ventricles into these two arteries is also regulated by valves. These valves resemble a half moon, hence they are called semi-lunar valves. These valves are present at the opening where the pulmonary artery and aorta leave the right and left ventricles respectively. They ensure that the blood does not flow back into the ventricles.
<h2>FOUR </h2><h3>The four heart valves include the following: </h3><h3>Tricuspid valve: located between the right atrium and the right ventricle.</h3><h3>Pulmonary valve: located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. </h3><h3>Mitral valve: located between the left atrium and the left ventricle.</h3><h3>Aortic valve: located between the left </h3><h3>ventricle and the aorta</h3><h3 />
Half of the guinea pigs will have black fur, while the other half will have white fur. This is because the black is dominant, masking the white gene. But when both genes are recessive, the offspring will have white fur.
