Cusps of heart valves Totally Explained

Everything about Cusps Of Heart Valves totally explained

The cusps of the heart valves serve to seal the heart valves when closed. There are three cusps for each valve except for the mitral valve, which has only two (hence its alternate name, "bicuspid valve").
"Nodules" are located at the tip of the valve, to form a tighter seal.
