How many valves are found in the heart?

Answer 1

There are four total valves in the heart.

The Mitral and Tricuspid in the atria and ventricles

The Aortic between the Aorta and left ventricle

The Pulmonary between the Pulmonary artery and right ventricle

Answer 2

There is no set number of valves in your body.

The most obvious number might be FOUR because most people are aware of the four valves in the heart which maintain the correct direction of blood flow from atria to ventricles and then from ventricles to arteries.

The reason there is no single answer to the question is because large veins contain one-way valves that help to return blood to the heart.

In addition, the lymph vessels also contain one-way valves that help to move lymph.

So there is no correct answer. Maybe some medical anatomist can tell us the exact number but I am not sure that anyone knows how many valves are in the veins and lymph vessels.

Answer 3

Atrioventricular valves - 3 on the right side. These are called the Tricuspid valves. Allows blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle 2 on the left side. These are called the Bicuspid valves, also known as the Mitral Valve. It allows blood to flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. There are also semilunar valves which are located at the end of the pulmonary artery and the aorta. All you need to do is go look in a human anatomy book :oP

Answer 4

There are many valves in the human body. There are valves in the heart as well as valves in the blood vessels. Which valves are you asking about?

Answer 5

yes in all blood vessels to stop blood flowing backwards

Answer 6

4.

The four valves in the heart are: The two atrioventricular (AV) valves, which are between the atria and the ventricles, are the mitral valve and the tricuspid valve.
