mitral valve in dogs

An atrioventricular valve that is part of the outflow part of the left atrium. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the mitral valve is

An atrioventricular valve that is part of the outflow part of the left atrium. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the mitral valve is

It sits in the thorax and trunk, within the cardiovascular system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the mitral valve connects to

The atlas records 12 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of cardiac atrium and left cardiac atrium.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the mitral valve. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as left atrioventricular valve, valva atrioventricularis sinistra, bicuspid valve and valva mitralis. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the mitral valve?

What does the mitral valve connect to?

Part of: cardiac atrium and left cardiac atrium.

Is the mitral valve the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
