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 located in the thoracic cavity. This places the heart between the lungs, behind the sternum, in front of the thoracic vertabrae, and above the diaphragm. The heart's apex (conical tip) lies on the diaphragm and points to the left of the body. It is at the apex where the heartbeat is most easily felt and heard through the stethoscope.
