The mitral valve regulates blood flow between the left atrium and left ventricle — allowing oxygen-rich blood to enter the heart’s main pumping chamber. During diastole, the valve opens to let blood flow into the ventricle. During systole, it closes tightly to prevent backflow into the atrium. Its two leaflets are anchored by chordae tendineae and papillary muscles, which prevent valve prolapse under pressure. This 3D animation shows the mitral valve in motion — guiding blood through the heart.
