The mitral valve (also known as the bicuspid) controls the flow of blood between the left atrium and the left ventricle. The similar valve on the right side of the heart is the tricuspid.

What is mitral valve replacement used to treat?
Mitral valve repair is performed to improve the function of the diseased valve so that it correctly controls the direction of blood flow.
A valve in the heart that guards the opening between the left atrium and the left ventricle that prevents the blood in the ventricle from returning to the atrium?
The Mitral valve.
Blood flow from the mitral valve to the bicuspid valve?
The mitral and bicuspid valves are the same thing.
Located between left upper and lower chambers of the heart?
Mitral valve
As the left ventricle contracts the blood is prevented from going back into the left atrium by a one-way valve called the?
The Mitral Valve is positioned between the left atrium and the left ventricle. Closing of the mitral valve prevents the blood from flowing back to the left atrium.

The Mitral valve.
Oxygenated blood passes through what valve first?
The mitral valve between the left atrium and ventricle.
What is the medical term meaning backflow of blood through the mitral valve?
Mitral regurgitation is backflow of blood through the mitral valve.
If the mitral valve prolapses where does the blood flow to?
If the mitral valve prolapses, the blood may flow backwards into the left atrium.
Blood flow from the mitral valve to the bicuspid valve?
The mitral and bicuspid valves are the same thing.
What is the valve that prevents blood returning to the right ventricle after it pumps?
The aortic semilunar valve prevents backflow of blood from the aorta to the left ventricle.The aortic valve prevents backflow of blood from the aorta to the left ventricle of the heart.aortic valve
What is Mitral valve regurgitation?
The mitral valve is located between the left atrium (LA) and the left ventricle (LV). In normal circulation, oxygenated blood comes from the lungs into the LA, Whe the LA contracts, the blood goes into the LV. When the LV contracts, the blood is pumped into the aorta for circulation throughout the body. The mitral valve prevents blood from going back up to the LA from the LV during ventricular contraction. Mitral regurgitation is when the mitral valve does not close properly during ventricular contraction, and allows blood to go back up to the LA.
Mitral valve prolapse allows blood to enter where?
Mitral valve prolapse allows blood to enter into the left atrium. This often results in the valve not forming a tight seal.
Located between left upper and lower chambers of the heart?
Mitral valve
As the left ventricle contracts the blood is prevented from going back into the left atrium by a one-way valve called the?
The Mitral Valve is positioned between the left atrium and the left ventricle. Closing of the mitral valve prevents the blood from flowing back to the left atrium.
When the Blood leaves the left atrium through what valve?
This valve has different names. It is the LAV valve or Mitral Valve or Bicuspid valve.
