They stop blood flowing the wrong way. If blood tries to go the wrong way for whatever reason, they automatically seal shut and prevent blood flow until the blood is flowing properly again.
The blood in veins is not under direct pressure from the heart. It has little valves inside to prevent blood from flowing backwards away from the heart. These valves inside the veins prevent the backflow of blood in veins. They encourage the one-directional flow of blood to the heart.

They are pairs of chambers inside the heart, which have valves.
The chordae tendineae, also known as the heart strings, are fibrous tendons that anchor the heart valves in place and prevent them from turning inside out during the cardiac cycle. These tendons are connected to the papillary muscles in the heart to ensure proper valve function.
The valves in the veins
you find non return valves inside the heart, lymph and veines, avoiding fluids from flowing backwards > [veinous blood in veines and heart, oxygenated blood in the heart]. Lymph vessels have valves also. The portal vein though contains no valves. All arteries including arteriols and capillaries have no valves.
Heart valves help prevent blood from flowing backwards through the chambers of the heart. They open only one way to allow blood to flow through to the next chamber, and close against flow of blood from the other directon.
Back to the heart! Answered By Alex Usovich
State the valves of the heart and their
The cardiac sounds (typically described as lub-dub) are caused by the closing of the cardiac valves. The first sound (lub) is caused by the closing of the mitral and tricuspid valves and the second (dub) is caused by the closing of the aortic and pulmonic valves.
The use of the valves in the heart is to have blood flow regularly through the heart. The valves pump blood out of the heart into the body.
