Mitral valve prolapse allows blood to enter into the left atrium. This often results in the valve not forming a tight seal.

Where does the mitral valve allow blood to enter during contraction of left ventricle?

The mitral valve allows blood to enter the left ventricle from the left atrium during contraction of the left ventricle. This valve opens to allow blood flow from the atrium to the ventricle and then closes to prevent backflow of blood.


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.


If mitral valve flows unproperly what become affected?

Does blood that passes through the tricuspid valve enter the left ventricle?

No, blood enters the left ventricle through the bicuspid or mitral valve.I remember it this way --TRIcuspid valve is on the-RIght side of the heart.

What does the hearts mitral valve do?

The heart's mitral valve, located between the left atrium and left ventricle, plays a crucial role in regulating blood flow. It ensures that oxygen-rich blood from the lungs flows into the left ventricle while preventing backflow into the left atrium during ventricular contraction. The valve opens to allow blood to enter the ventricle and closes tightly to maintain proper circulation throughout the body. Proper function of the mitral valve is essential for efficient heart operation and overall cardiovascular health.


What is a round opening in the bones?

Trace the blood from the mitral to the tricuspid valve by the way of the great toe?

Note: Mitral valve = bicuspid valve = aortic valve. And tricuspid valve = right atrioventricular valve. Blood flows through the aortic valve --> aorta --> arteries --> arterioles --> capillaries in the great toe --> venules --> veins --> superior and inferior venacavae --> right atrium --> tricuspid valve. This above is incorrect. The Mitral valve is the bicuspid valve but it is NOT the aortic valve. So blood flows from the Mitral valve to the left ventricle to the aortic valve to the aorta. The rest appears correct.
