- 12.
- What is #12? (HINT: it's a valve)
Explanation
The mitral valve is the correct answer because it is a type of valve in the human heart. It is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle and is responsible for preventing the backflow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium during ventricular contraction. The mitral valve consists of two cusps or flaps, hence the name "mitral" which means "resembling a bishop's mitre."Rate this question:
