The human heart consists of four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The flow of blood between these chambers is regulated by specific valves to ensure unidirectional flow.
The opening between the right atrium and the right ventricle is guarded by a valve consisting of three muscular flaps or cusps. This valve is known as the tricuspid valve.
Option (A) refers to the pacemaker of the heart. Option (B) refers to the mitral valve located between the left atrium and left ventricle. Option (D) refers to the valves at the base of the pulmonary artery and aorta. Therefore, (C) is the correct anatomical structure.
Final Answer: tricuspid valve
