THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Read on to learn more about the mitral valve, including its location and anatomy.

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: -opening is guarded by the mitral, or bicuspid, valve, so named because it consists of two flaps. The mitral valve is attached in the same manner as the tricuspid, but it is stronger and thicker because the left ventricle is by nature a more powerful pump working under high pressure.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
