A member asked:
Can you tell me the structural differences of the tricuspid valve from pulmonary valve?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See below: Structural differences are minimal. They are both fibrous and usually have three cusps. The tricuspid is anchored to tiny muscles called papillary muscles. The functional differences are more relevant. The tricuspid regulates blood flow between the right atrium and the right ventricle, while the pulmonary valve stands between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.

Size and position: Both have 3 leaflets, the tricuspid valve is much larger than the pulmonary valve. Of course, they're in different places.
