The first is the bicuspid valve (mitral valve) which is found between the left atrium (auricle) and the left ventricle.
The aorta arose from the large left ventricle through a competent bicuspid valve.
The bicuspid valve also prevents the backflow of blood into the left atrium during ventricular contraction (systole).
Normally the only cardiac valve that is bicuspid is the mitral valve (bicuspid valve) which is situated between the left atrium and left ventricle.
The right side of the atrial canal will become the tricuspid valve and the left will become the bicuspid valve.
This results from the fusing of two of the cusps during embryonic development forming a bicuspid valve instead of a tricuspid valve.
The mitral valve is also called the bicuspid valve because it contains two leaflets or cusps.
With special reference to the development of aortic stenosis upon congenital bicuspid valves.
