APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The mitral valve is composed of two leaflets, the anterior (or aortic) and posterior leaflets. The supporting tendinous cords (chordae tendineae) on the ventricular aspect of the valve leaflets insert into two well-defined papillary muscles that are continuous with the left ventricular myocardium.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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.
