Your heart is responsible for keeping your blood flowing. It acts like a pump. The right side receives blood from the body where it is pumped to the lungs and the left side pumps the oxygenated blood out to your entire body. The valves of your heart keep it flowing in one direction.
There are two ways that blood is kept flowing in the same direction. The heart is pumping it in that direction, and blood vessels contain valves which prevent blood from flowing in the wrong direction.
One directional valves keep blood in the heart flowing in the right direction. There are three valves: biscupid valve, semilunar valve and tricuspid valve. These open to let the blood flow through then close to prevent the blood flowing back in the wrong direction making the heart less efficient.

Many have small valves that keep the blood flowing in the correct direction. You can actually see these if they fail to work. We call them varicose veins.
