Which hea valve has leaflets described as "anterior, left and right"?
The leaflets of the pulmonic valve are named anterior, left, and right, according to their orientation. The leaflets of the aoic valve are named posterior, left, and right, with the left and right aoic sinuses above these leaflets giving off their respective coronary aeries. The mitral valve has a left and right cusp, while the tricuspid valve has a septal, anterior, and smaller posterior cusp. Ref: Barrett K.E., Barman S.M., Boitano S., Brooks H.L. (2012). Chapter 30.
