Mitral Valve
There are two Atrioventricular Valves in the heart. The first one, on the right side of the heart, is called the Tricuspid Valve (it has three 'flaps'). On the left side, the Atrioventricular Valve is called the Bicuspid or Mitral Valve (it has two 'flaps')
The left Mitral atrioventricular valve is bicuspid (two flaps).

These are the valves of the human heart. The bicuspid (or mitral) valves each have two large flaps, curved to close the rear entrance of a chamber, through which blood enters. The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle. It normally has three flaps but may have two or even four flaps, and this can change with age.
The antrioventricular valve has two valves. The bicuspid valve has 2 flaps and in located in the right ventricle/right atrium. The tricuspid valve has 3 flaps and is located in the left ventricle/left atrium.

On the right sie of the heart, there is a right atrium and right ventricle that are separated by the tricuspid valve or Atrioventricular valve. The left atrium and left ventricle are separated by the bicuspid or mitral valve.
The antrioventricular valve has two valves. The bicuspid valve has 2 flaps and in located in the right ventricle/right atrium. The tricuspid valve has 3 flaps and is located in the left ventricle/left atrium.
The bicuspid or mitral valve and the aortic valve are on the left side of the heart. The mitral valve separates the left atrium and left ventricle, and the aortic valve is between the left atrium and the aorta.
The tricuspid valve is on the right side of the heart, connecting the right atrium and the right ventricle. The analogous valve on the left side of the heart is the mitral or bicuspid valve.
The valves located between the upper and lower chambers of the heart are known as the atrioventricular valves. On the right side, it is known as the tricuspid valve because it has three flaps. On the left side, it is known as the bicuspid or mitral valve because it has two flaps.
The tricuspid valve is on the right side of the heart, connecting the right atrium and the right ventricle. The analogous valve on the left side of the heart is the mitral or bicuspid valve.
