One small valve helps keep blood moving in the right direction through your heart.
Explore the mitral valve in this cinematic 3D medical animation from Body Spectra.
The mitral valve lies between the left atrium and left ventricle. Its two leaflets open to allow blood into the left ventricle, then close during ventricular contraction to help prevent backward flow.
In this short anatomy journey, discover: ✅ Where the mitral valve is located. ✅ How its two leaflets open and close. ✅ What the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles do. ✅ How the mitral valve works alongside the aortic valve during each heartbeat.
The human heart is a remarkable biological pump—and its valves help keep circulation moving in the correct direction.
