ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The bicuspid valve is also called as the mitral valve. In humans, the bicuspid valve is one of four valves inside the heart. It permits blood to flow one way only, from the left atrium into the left ventricle. This valve has two flaps.

Detailed explanation-2: -When this happens, the condition is called aortic valve stenosis. The heart has to work harder to pump blood into the body’s main artery, called the aorta. Bicuspid aortic valve is a heart problem present at birth. That means it is a congenital heart defect.

Detailed explanation-3: -Rheumatic heart disease often affects the mitral valve; the valve may also prolapse with age and be affected by infective endocarditis. The mitral valve is named after the mitre of a bishop, which resembles its flaps.

Detailed explanation-4: -The right atrioventricular valve has three cusps, and is therefore called the tricuspid valve, while the left atrioventricular valve has two cusps, and is known as the bicuspid or mitral valve-mitral because it is said to resemble a bishops mitre.
