The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium (right side of specimen) and the right ventricle (left side of specimen).
Right Atrium - receives venous blood from the systemic circulation.
Right Ventricle - receives blood from the right atrium and pumps it into the lungs via the pulmonary arteries.
Epicardium - outer surface of mesothelial cells supported by a layer of dense irregular connective tissue covering loose adipose connective tissue.
Tricuspid Valve - usually has three leaflets connected to papillary muscles by chordae tendineae. Each leaflet is a thin fold of the endocardium. This section is through one of the leaflets.
