ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Opens to allow blood to flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your mitral valve opens to send blood from your left atrium to your left ventricle. When your left ventricle is full it squeezes, which closes your mitral valve and opens your aortic valve. Your heart sends blood through your aortic valve to your aorta, where it flows to the rest of your body.

Detailed explanation-3: -What Is Bicuspid Aortic Valve? A bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is an aortic valve that contains only only two cusps (or flaps) instead of three. The aortic valve controls the flow of blood from the left ventricle (chamber) to the aorta, the main artery delivering blood to your body.

Detailed explanation-4: -The valve allows blood to flow from the left ventricle (pumping chamber) to the aorta and prevents blood from flowing backward.

Detailed explanation-5: -Bicuspid aortic valve is a heart problem present at birth. That means it is a congenital heart defect. The aortic valve is between the left lower heart chamber and the body’s main artery, called the aorta.
