Comparison of structure of the left atrioventricular valve and aortic valve
Explanation:
The left atrioventricular or the mitral valve is structurally a bicuspid valve. It is located in between left atrium and left ventricle at the left atrioventricular orifice.
Structurally, the mitral valve is composed of the anterior and posterior leaflets, commissures, chordate tendineae, zone of coaptation, and mitral annulus. It allows oxygenated blood to flow from left auricle to the left ventricle.
The aortic valve is a semi-lunar valve present between left ventricle and aorta. This is the main valve of the heart and controls flow of blood from the left ventricle to the aorta which carries oxygenated blood to various parts of the body.
The aortic valve compromises three cusps – right and left coronary cusps, non-coronary cusp. The aortic valve leaflets are formed of the lunule and nodule.
