One of the
four valves of the heart, the mitral valve is situated between
the left atrium and the left ventricle. It
permits blood to flow one way: from the left atrium into the left ventricle. The
mitral valve has two flaps (cusps) and so is called "mitral" because it looks
like a bishop's miter or headdress. Also known as the bicuspid valve.
