THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

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

Detailed explanation-2: -… 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-3: -A bicuspid aortic valve has two flaps, called cusps, instead of three. It can cause the valve opening to become narrowed or blocked. When this happens, the condition is called aortic valve stenosis. The heart has to work harder to pump blood into the body’s main artery, called the aorta.

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.
