Wikipedia

  1. Heart valve

    A heart valve is a one-way valve that allows blood to flow in one direction through the chambers of the heart. Four valves are usually present in a mammalian heart and together they determine the pathway of blood flow through the heart. A heart valve opens or closes according to differential blood pressure on each side.The four valves in the mammalian heart are two atrioventricular valves separating the upper atria from the lower ventricles – the mitral valve in the left heart, and the tricuspid valve in the right heart. The other two valves are at the entrance to the arteries leaving the heart these are the semilunar valves – the aortic valve at the aorta, and the pulmonary valve at the pulmonary artery. The heart also has a coronary sinus valve, and an inferior vena cava valve, not discussed here.

  1. heart valve

    A heart valve is a type of one-way valve, made of flaps of tissue, within the heart that ensures blood flows in only one direction, preventing it from flowing backwards. These valves are located between the atria and ventricles, and between the ventricles and the large blood vessels leaving the heart. There are four main heart valves: the tricuspid valve, the pulmonic valve, the mitral valve, and the aortic valve. Faulty heart valves can cause inefficient blood circulation, potentially leading to various heart conditions.
