Separates the left atrium from the left ventricle:permits blood to flow one way only, from the left atrium into the left ventricle
A
Tricuspid Valve
B
Mitral Valve
C
Pulmonary Valve
D
Aortic Valve
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The mitral valve separates the left ventricle from the left atrium. Blood travels through the bicuspid valve to the left atrium. Both the aortic and the pulmonary valves are semilunar valves. The mitral valve is an atrioventricular valve.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitral valve: This separates the left atrium and left ventricle. 4. Aortic valve: This separates the left ventricle and aorta. The heart pumps blood to all parts of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Oxygen-rich blood flows from the lungs back into the left atrium (LA), or the left upper chamber of the heart, through four pulmonary veins. Oxygen-rich blood then flows through the mitral valve (MV) into the left ventricle (LV), or the left lower chamber.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitral Valve Separates the top left chamber (left atrium) from the bottom left chamber (left ventricle). Opens to allow blood to flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. Prevents the back flow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium.

Detailed explanation-5: -The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve out to the rest of the body.
