Solution

  1. In human heart, bicuspid valve, also known as mitral valve, is present between left atrium and left ventricle.
  2. Valves are muscular flaps that are located on each end of the two ventricles (lower chambers of the heart).
  3. The valves prevent the backward flow of blood.
  4. They act as one-way inlets of blood on one side of a ventricle and one-way outlets of blood on the other side of a ventricle.
