well, the valves both bicupsid and tricuspid valve open to let the blood move from the atrium to the ventricle, and close again to prevent back flow of the heart because then blood wont go to the feet and rest of body

What causes the valves to open and close during the heart cycle?
By minute electrical singles produced by the heart itself to open and close the valves.
Why does the heart need valves?
The reason why we need we need valves in our heart is because the valves in our heart will open and close. When the valves in our heart open, they allow blood to go into places in our body where blood is needed. When the blood passes through, the valve closes. They regulate the blood flow.
List the valves of the heart and describe how they operate.?
DESCRIBE THE ACTION OF HEART VALVES. WHEN DO THEY OPEN AND CLOSE?
Why does the human heart need valves?
The reason why we need we need valves in our heart is because the valves in our heart will open and close. When the valves in our heart open, they allow blood to go into places in our body where blood is needed. When the blood passes through, the valve closes. They regulate the blood flow.
Do the heart valves open and close due to pressure or volume?
yes
Valves of the heart open and close due to?
Due to pressure changes in different chambers of the heart. For example, when the atria contract, the bicuspid and tricuspid valves open. They get closed, when the ventricles contract. When the ventricles contract the aortic and pulmonary valves open. Aortic and pulmonary valves close, when the ventricles relax.
What is the medical term meaning fibers that open and close heart valves?
chordae tendineae
What the function of valves?
Valves prevent blood from going backward.Valves in general open to allow or close to prevent liquid flow. Heart valves opens to let blood into the heart then close to keep it there so that when the heart muscle contracts and squeezes the blood it is then forced out into the arteries of the body.
Why do heart valves open and close?
to allow proper blood flow
What are heart rhythm abnormalities?
It's when the electrical charge is not going through the heart correctly causing the valves to not open and close in sync.
What part of the heart opens to allow blood in?
The heart valves open when blood is flowing through. They close to prevent backflow.
Since the valves act as the doors of the heart what might happen if these doors do not close?
The valves have to open to let blood flow into a chamber, and close before the blood flows back. If the valves do not open and close precisely on schedule, or if they fail to open or close completely, the blood will not flow efficiently. This can cause fluctuations in blood pressure, lack of flow to organs, or damage to the muscles of the heart. For example, if the aortic valve between the heart and the aorta does not close after the left ventricle contracts, there will be back pressure into the ventricle, less blood pumped out of the heart, and lower pressure in the arteries.
