Question

Mitral Valve connects

• A. Right atrium and right ventricle
• B. Left atrium and left ventricle
• C. Right atrium and left ventricle
• D. Left atrium and right ventricle

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Left atrium and left ventricle

The correct option is B

Explanation of the correct option:

1. The bicuspid valve, also known as the left atrioventricular valve, is another name for the mitral valve.
2. Between the left atrium and the left ventricle, it can be found.
3. During ventricular contraction, it stops blood from flowing backward from the left ventricle into the left atrium.
4. There are two flaps on this valve. When the atrium's pressure is high, it opens, allowing blood to flow from the left atrium into the left ventricle.
5. When the pressure in the ventricle is high, it closes, preventing blood from flowing backwards.

Explanation of the incorrect option:

Option A:

Between the right atrium and the right ventricle is the tricuspid valve.

Option C:

Between the right atrium and the left ventricle, there is no valve.

Option D:

Between the left atrium and the right ventricle is the pulmonary valve.

Final Answer: Mitral Valve connects the left atrium and left ventricle.
