Physiology

Mitral valve

A human mitral valve shown in a clean anatomical or simplified clipart style as a bicuspid left atrioventricular valve. Two broad, thin, flexible leaflets are attached to a smooth fibrous oval annulus, with one leaflet slightly larger than the other so the pair appears mildly asymmetrical. The leaflets are pale pink to ivory or cream-pink, delicate, smooth-edged, forming a central bicuspid or slit-like opening. Fine white chordae tendineae extend downward from the free leaflet edges, in some views connecting to short papillary muscles below. Overall appearance is a paired flap-like valve with curved cusp margins and a delicate two-cusped structure.
