What is another word for mitral?
Pronunciation: [mˈɪtɹə͡l] (IPA) 
Mitral valves are an integral part of the human heart, regulating blood flow between the left atrium and the left ventricle. Though "mitral" is the common term used to refer to these valves, there are several synonyms that are used in medical terminology. Some of these include bicuspid valve, left atrioventricular valve, and mitral atrioventricular valve. The term "bicuspid" refers to the valve's two flaps or cusps, while the term "atrioventricular" indicates that it is located between the atrium and ventricle of the heart. While these terms refer to the same structure, the use of different synonyms in medical texts or discussions may depend on the context or the preference of the medical professional.
