• A. Right auricle and right ventricle
• B. Left auricle and left ventricle
• C. Right auricle and pulmonary artery
• D. Left ventricle and aorta

Answer 1

The correct option is B Left auricle and left ventricle

Mitral valve is also called as bicuspid valve and it is present in the left side of the heart. It is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle. When the oxygenated blood is pumped into the left ventricle from the left atrium, the valve closes to prevent the backflow of the blood.

A. The tricuspid valve is located between right auricle and right ventricle.

B. Mitral valve or the bicuspid valve is located between the left auricle and left ventricle.

C. The pulmonary artery is linked with the right ventricle. Pulmonary semilunar valve is present between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.

D. Aortic semilunar valve is present between left ventricle and aorta.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Left auricle and left ventricle'
