ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The normal mitral valve opens when the left ventricle relaxes (diastole) allowing blood from the left atrium to fill the decompressed left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-2: -During ventricular diastole, venous blood enters the left atrium, and when blood pressure within the left atrium exceeds blood pressure in the left ventricle, the mitral valve opens and passive filling of the ventricle occurs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The mitral valve is also known as the bicuspid valve. This is one of the heart’s four valves that help prevent blood from flowing backward as it moves through the heart.

Detailed explanation-4: -mitral valve: located between the left atrium and the left ventricle. aortic valve: located between the left ventricle and the aorta.

Detailed explanation-5: -The mitral valve is one of four valves in the heart that keep blood flowing in the right direction. Each valve has flaps (leaflets) that open and close once during each heartbeat. If a valve doesn’t open or close properly, blood flow through the heart to the body can be reduced.
