Explanation:

The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle. Its role is to allow blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle during diastole (when the heart is relaxing and filling with blood) and then close during systole (when the heart is contracting) to prevent the backflow of blood from the right ventricle to the right atrium.
