The valves of the heart open when blood is flowing through, allowing it to move from one chamber to another. The atrioventricular valves open to allow blood to flow from the atria to the ventricles, and the semilunar valves open to allow blood to flow out of the heart into the arteries.


What the function of valves?

Valves prevent blood from going backward.Valves in general open to allow or close to prevent liquid flow. Heart valves opens to let blood into the heart then close to keep it there so that when the heart muscle contracts and squeezes the blood it is then forced out into the arteries of the body.
