Answer:

Tricuspid: has three leaflets which allow blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle.

Pulmonary: also has three leaflets which allow blood to pump from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery


Bicuspid: has two leaflets which allow blood to flow from the lungs into the left atrium.

Aortic: has three leaflets which open to let blood flow from your heart’s left ventricle to the aorta.
