The arterial blood which has come from the lungs to left atrium passes then to left ventricle. The valve between left ventricle and left atrium is the mitral valve, a bicuspid (that is, two leaflets) valve. The mitral valve is significant as it prevents the regurgitation of blood to the left atrium throughout systole (that is, contraction of the ventricles).
