Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option B: Tricuspid Valve
Concept:

Atrioventricular (AV) valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles into the atria during systolic contraction.

Formula:

None

Solution:

  • The valve located between the right atrium and the right ventricle consists of three cusps or flaps.


  • It is anatomically named the tricuspid valve.


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Bicuspid (Mitral) Valve: Separates the left atrium and left ventricle.


  • Semilunar Valves: Guard the exits of the ventricles (pulmonary trunk and aorta).

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
