Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The left ventricle (LV) pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve (AoV) into the aorta (Ao), the main artery that takes oxygen-rich blood out to the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The heart pumps blood through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. From the left ventricle, the blood flows through the aortic valve to the rest of your body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The valves open and shut in time with the pumping action of your heart’s chambers. The opening and closing involve a set of flaps called cusps or leaflets. The cusps open to allow blood to flow out of a chamber and close to allow the chamber to refill with blood.
