- C. Ligamentous
- D. All of these
Explanation
The nature of valves in the heart is membranous. They are composed of sheets of tough membrane like connective tissue (leaflets) that act as flaps. The heart has four valves:Mitral valve (bicuspid valve) - Located between the left atrium and left ventricle. It has two leaflets.Tricuspid valve - Located between the right atrium and right ventricle. It has three leaflets.Pulmonary valve - Located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.
