Left Ventricle -Pumps blood to the ascending aorta.
Tricuspid Valve-Located between the right ventricle and atrium.
Aortic Valve-Located between the aorta and the left ventricle.
Mitral Valve-Between the lungs and the left atrium.
Pulmonary Valve-Between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artey.
