no... the force of the blood opens them and they naturally want to stay closed.

Which part of the heart makes the heartbeat sound?
A heartbeat produces the familiar "LUB-DUP" sounds as the chambers contract and the valves close. The first heart sound, "lub," is heard when the ventricles contract and the atrioventricular valves close. This sound last longest and has a lower pitch. The second heart sound, "dub," is heard when the relaxation of the ventricles allows the semilunar valves to close.
Why do the hearts valve close?
In a 4-chambered heart animal, the valves on the heart close to prevent back-flow from the ventricle into the atrium. In this way, the valves assure that the heart propels the blood forward with sufficient pressure and volume to reach all regions of the body.
What returns blood to heart?
The veins return blood from the body back to the heart, then out of the heart to the lungs where it is oxygenated, then back to the heart and carried back out into the body by arteries. The blood in the veins is blue but is seen through you skin as a dark green.
What causes the valves to open and close during the heart cycle?
By minute electrical singles produced by the heart itself to open and close the valves.

What causes the heart murmur?
Some murmurs are caused by heart valves that do not close completely.
What does the word lub-dupp mean?
It refers to the sound the heart makes, heard through the stethescope. lub (S1) is made when the atrioventricular valves in the heart close. dupp (S2) is made when the semilunar valves in the heart close.
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.
Why does the heart need valves?
The reason why we need we need valves in our heart is because the valves in our heart will open and close. When the valves in our heart open, they allow blood to go into places in our body where blood is needed. When the blood passes through, the valve closes. They regulate the blood flow.
What is the main reason why valves close when blood flow through them?
If the valves in the heart do not close, regurgitation occurs which is the blood pooling back into a chamber of the heart where it should not be. This can lead to a whole host of medical problems - like a heart attack.
Do the heart valves open and close due to pressure or volume?
yes
Why does the human heart need valves?
