In most OHV systems, the cams are opened and closed in the following process: a camshaft is pressed into a gear which meshes with a gear pressed onto the crankshaft. The camshaft has protrusions which are offset from the center of the shaft so they turn rotary motion into longitudinal motion. The timed protrusions push two rods up at varying times (one rod controls intake, the other controls exhaust). As the rods are pushed up they push a lever that has a rod on the opposing side of the lever which is connected- either directly or indirectly- to the intake and exaust valves. The upward motion of the rods is reversed on the other side of the lever which pushes down (open) the intake or exaust valve. On one last note, the valve rods are encircled by a spring which returns the valve to the closed position when the offset cam protrusions rotate out of position.
A 4-cycle engine that has the intake and exhaust valves located in the cylinder head.
The valves keep blood flowing in one direction. And there are even valves in the veins. The system is called a circulatory system and the system must keep going in a circle to function properly.
A valve job is where they turn or resurface the valves in your cylinder head to promote sealing. The head(s) have to come off & they grind the seats as well. The cam opens/closes the valves to let in fuel/let out exhaust.
So blood doesn't flow backwards.
All the valves of the heart prevent backflow of the blood through the heart: tricuspid valve, pulmonary valve, mitral valve, and aortic valve. Furthermore, there are one-way valves in the veins that prevent backflow of blood.
Overhead valves open vertically from the head into the combustion chamber. Overhead valve engines use a system of lifters, push rods, and rocker arms to operate the valves. The cam on an overhead valve system is adjacent to the crankshaft, and the lifters, push rods and rockers work together to operate the valves. Overhead cam engines position the camshaft directly above the valves. In that position, there is much less weight of the valve operation mechanism, resulting in a potentially higher engine operating speed.
Mechanism with side camshaft and Mechanism with overhead camshaft both valve actuating mechanisms are used to operate inlet or exhaust valves.

Fewer moving valve train parts such as the push rods.
I dunno.hello.What's the point of answering this?
It closes and keeps the VALVES shut when needed.
valves
Single overhead cam have interference with pistons & valves. While in duel overhead cam engines there is interference betwen the pistons & valves & also between the intake & exhaust valves.
In a four-stroke overhead-cam engine, the timing chain connects the crankshaft to the camshaft. The camshaft opens and closes the valves in the cylinders and turns at half the speed of the crankshaft. Many engines now have a cog-belt instead of a chain.
The cam is in the engine and it is what opens and closes the intake and exaust valves
Opens and closes the intake and exhaust valves.
Known as the valve train it starts with the camshaft, then the lifters, then the push rods, then the rocker arms and lastly the valves.
