Valves control the flow of blood. Without them blood could flow backwards.
--------------------------
Yes, true. Valve would maintain one way traffic for blood right from the heart and to outside parts of the body and form outside to the heart.
Blood flows in a particular direction. Inside the heart, it flows from an atrium into a ventricle. It is not supposed to flow in the other direction. Valves control the direction of blood flow, allowing it to flow in one direction and preventing it from flowing backwards.

They connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart. also i like bananas :)
The valve
The valve between the heart and the aorta is the aortic valve, and the valve between the heart and the pulmonary artery is the pulmonic valve.
There are four valves in the heart--the aortic valve, pulmonary valve, mitral valve, and tricuspid valve--each at the exit of one of the heart's four chambers.

A valvectomy is a surgery that removes a valve from the body, typically a heart valve. If the heart is diseased, or not functioning properly, the valve can be removed to help restore better function.
The aortic valve functions as a one-way valve between the heart and the rest of the body. Blood is pumped from the left ventricle of the heart, through the valve, and down the aorta, which in turn supplies blood to all of the organs in the body. Between heart contractions, the valve closes, preventing blood from flowing backwards into the heart. The function of the aortic valve is then twofold: (1) It provides a route for which blood can leave the heart, and (2) It prevents blood that has already left the heart from leaking backwards into the heart.
The heart has only one major function. This function is to pump blood through the body and to and from the lungs.
The bicuspid valve allows blood to pass from the heart to the aorta but then keeps it from flowing back into the heart.

to supply blood to the heart muscles.
The heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, and so on, are examples of organs that perform a major (vital) function. Not to mention the brain!
The goal of the procedure is to improve valve function and blood flow by enlarging the valve opening. It is sometimes used to avoid or delay open heart surgery and valve replacement.

Mitral Valve
It prevents blood flowing back into the heart from the arteries.
