PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The mitral valve is also called the bicuspid valve and the left atrioventricular valve.

Detailed explanation-2: -A bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is an aortic valve that only has two leaflets, instead of three. The aortic valve regulates blood flow from the heart into the aorta.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your mitral valve is one of four valves in your heart. It’s located between the upper left chamber of your heart (left atrium) and your lower left chamber (left ventricle). Your mitral valve opens and closes to make sure blood flows in the correct direction. It’s also called the left atrioventricular valve.

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.
