Summary Information: Valve Cusps Valve Cusps: Valve cusps are located in the valves of the heart and are flaps of tissue that open in one direction as blood is pumped through them. The valve cusps are made of thin fibrous tissue, covered with a smooth membrane (endocardium) and reinforced by connective tissue.
The heart is in the middle of the chest. It fits snugly between the two lungs. It is held in place by the blood vessels that carry the blood to and from its chambers. The heart is tipped somewhat so that there is a little more of it on the left side than on the right. The pointed tip at the bottom of the heart touches the front wall of the chest. Every time the heart beats it goes âthumpâ against the chest wall. You can feel the thumps if you press there with your hand. You can also listen to them with your ear. * picture of the heart and its parts * picture of the body and some of its organs. Structure of the Heart
