The bicuspid valve is one the heart valves that stops blod flowingthe the wrong direcion. This particular valve is betwee the left atrium and left ventricle, stopping back flow FM the ventricle to the atrium. It is called bicuspid because it is made of two epithelial folds or leaflets that flap up when the ventricles contract blocking the backflow. It is also called th mitral vlave as when the flaps are pushed ogether it looks like the popes hat.
