your semi lunar valves stop slop from entering your left aorta and your lunar valves stop crud from entering your right ventricle. this is the purpose of your valves. but this is different in dogs as your septum helps fight against testicular torsion.

What Function Does The Heart Serve?
The heart PUMPS BLOOD through the arteries throughout your body. Veins take blood to your heart, arteries take blood away. some people think the heart pumps blood into your veins but that is NOT true. Your veins take the blood to your heart, the arteries take the blood away from your heart.
What is the largest heart valve?
There are four valves in the human heart. They are the:1. Tricuspid valve2. Pulmonary valve3. Mitral valve ( also known as bicuspid valve)4. Aortic valve
Which vessels transport blood toward the heart and have valves?
The venous system, or "veins" are responsible for bringing blood back from your peripheral body to the right side of the heart, where it is sent to the lungs for reoxygenation. Veins have one way valves that function to maintain a stable pressure in the venous system, while increasing the efficiency of the heart by preventing backflow of blood in between ventricular beats.
What carries blood to the heart?
Veins carry deoxygenated blood back the heart.
Function of heart strings?
They connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart. also i like bananas :)
What is the function of the veins in the blood?
The veins return the deoxygenated blood to the heart.
What chambers of the heart function to receive blood from veins?
Atria receive blood from the veins.
What are the veins function?
To allow the blood to get back to the heart to be reoxygenated.
How do systemic veins function?
carry deoxygenated blood to the heart
What is the main function of the venis?
The main function of the veins is to take blood back to the heart.
Are the veins in the valve?
Other way around. Valves appear in veins to keep the blood flowing in one direction to the heart.
What is the function of valves in the heart and the veins?
I don't know what it is. I'm sorry :(
How does veins carry oxygenated blood while others carry deoxygenated blood?
Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the right atrium of the heart, which sends it through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle to the pulmonary semilunar valve to the pulmonary arteries to the lungs (to become oxygenated and get rid of waste gases) to the pulmonary veins to the left atrium of the heart through the bicuspid valve to the left ventricle through the semilunar aortic valve to the ascending aorta to the aortic arch and out to the body. So the only veins that are oxygenated are the pulmonary veins that carry the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. They are still called veins because they carry blood TO the heart. Thus, the only deoxygenated blood in arteries is also the pulmonary arteries, because they carry the deoxygenated blood AWAY from the heart to the lungs. All veins must carry blood toward the heart and all arteries must carry blood away from the heart.
What is the function of the coronary veins?
To drain the tissues of the heart and empty into the coronary sinus
Where in the heart are heart valves?
There is a valve in the middle of the heart that keeps the blood going where it is supposed to go. There are also valves in the veins, but that's a different story.
Function of the veins?
The function of renal vein is to take filtrated blood from the kidney back to the heart
