The bicuspid valve is the valve between the atrium and ventricle on the left side of the heart. It ensures that blood flows in the correct direction - when the ventricle contracts, it prevents the blood from flowing backwards into the atrium.
The atrioventricular valve on the left side of the heart is the bicuspid or mitral valve. The AV valve on the right is the tricuspid.
The bicuspid valve is the valve that separates the left ventricle from the aorta.
The bicuspid valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle
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 bicuspid valve opens and the tricuspid valve closes.

It separates the left atrium and left ventricle. Oxygenated blood is pumped into the left atrium after having visited the lungs through the pulmonary veins. Then the atrium contracts and moves blood through the bicuspid valve and into the left ventricle. The bicuspid valve is important because it allows the blood to only flow into the ventricle and not return back to the atrium. Another name for it is the mitral valve.

From the bicuspid valve, blood travels to the left ventricle. From there, it's pumped to the aorta and throughout the body.

Bicuspid valve. It is situated between the left atrium and the left ventricle. It permits blood to flow one way only, from the left atrium into the left ventricle.
