What heart valve allows the passage of oxygen rich blood to the left ventricle?

Oxygen rich blood comes in to the left atrium via the pulmonary veins. The valve controlling the flow of oxygenated blood between the left atrium and left ventricle is called the mitral valve (or bicuspid valve).

What is the function of the Mitral valve?
a passage way from the left atrium to the left ventricle.It prevents back flow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium.prevents backflow of blood from the left ventricle into the left atrium.
What allows the blood to leave the left ventricle?
The aortic valve allows the blood to leave the left ventricle.
Is the right ventricle high in oxygen?
No. It pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary vein to get oxygenated. The LEFT ventricle is the oxygen rich one.
Which chambers of the heart contain blood that has the highest concentration of oxygen?
Blood high in oxygen, but low in carbon dioxide can be found in the left side of the heart: the left ventricle and left atrium. Since your entire body needs oxygen, blood high in oxygen is pumped from the left side of the heart to all over the rest of your body.
Why does blood in the left ventricle contain more oxygen then the blood in the right ventricle?
This is because the blood in the left atrium has just returned from the lungs, which means that the haemoglobin has joined with the oxygen to form oxy-haemoglobin. This blood is then pumped out of the heart and circulated out of the body.The blood in the right atrium has returned from the body, which means that the oxygen that was previously present in the blood has been absorbed, and therefore is lacking oxygen. This means that the blood in the left atrium is richer than that of the blood in the right.
Is the blood rich in oxygen or poor in oxygen when it enters the left ventricle?
Blood entering the left ventricle is rich in oxygen. In contrast, oxygen-poor blood enters the right ventricle.
What allows blood to leave left ventricle?
The aortic valve allows the blood to leave the left ventricle.

How does blood in the artery leaving the right ventricle differ from the blood in the artery leaving the left ventricle to where does the artery leaving the right ventricle carry blood?
The blood leaving the left ventricle is oxygen-rich and the blood coming out of the right ventricle is oxygen-poor. It then goes through the pulmonary arteries and into the capillaries of the lung where the carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen.
Is Blood pumped by right ventricle oxygen-rich or oxygen-poor?
Yes, the right ventricle transports oxygenated blood to the lungs.
Blood pumped by the left ventricle?
rich oxygen
Does the right ventricle have oxygen-poor blood?
poor
What allows the blood to leave the left ventricle?
The aortic valve allows the blood to leave the left ventricle.
When blood enters the left ventricle is the blood high in oxygen or low in oxygen?
Oxygen goes from the muscles to the right atrium, from there it goes to the right ventricle and into the lungs then it passes from the lungs to through the left atrium and into the left ventricle where it is recirculated through the body.
Is the right ventricle high in oxygen?
No. It pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary vein to get oxygenated. The LEFT ventricle is the oxygen rich one.
Name the vessel that conveys oxygen poor blood from the right ventricle?
The vessel that conveys oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle is called the pulmonary artery.
What blood does the right ventricle carry?
The right ventricle carries oxygen poor blood that will be sent to the lungs via the pulmonary artery.
