The valves keep blood flowing in one direction. And there are even valves in the veins. The system is called a circulatory system and the system must keep going in a circle to function properly.

Does the left side of the heart have more valves?
No. There are two "valves" on each side.
What are the heart's valves?
There are four valves in the heart--the aortic valve, pulmonary valve, mitral valve, and tricuspid valve--each at the exit of one of the heart's four chambers.
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 is the functions of heart valves?
Heart valves prevent blood from flowing backwards.
What does the function of the heart valves?
Heart valves control the flow of blood into, out of, and within the chambers of the heart. The main function is to let blood flow in one direction only, ensuring that blood does not flow backwards.

Which heart vales are chorde tendineae connected?
The chordae tendinae are connected to the atrioventricular valves. These are the valves that separate the atrium from the ventricle on each side of the heart.

What is each side of the heart that is separated from the other side by a wall called?
Chambers
What stop the blood from falling back into the heart?
The valves of the heart. They're one way valves that won't allow blood to flow back into the heart, provided the heart and valves are normal. In some cases, the valves can be defective, and cause the exact 'backflow' you're asking about. These cases are rare.
What does a healthy heart sound?
In healthy adults, there are two normal heart sounds often described as a lub and a dub, that occur in sequence with each heart beat. These are the first heart sound (S1) and second heart sound (S2), produced by the closing of the AV valves and semilunar valves respectively.
What is the functions of heart valves?
Heart valves prevent blood from flowing backwards.
Term of the 4 sections of a heart?
There are two atria (left and right atrium), and two ventricles (left and right ventricles). The left side and right side are totally separated, but on each side the atrium and ventricle gets connected by a valve and has valves to either take in or pump out blood.
Do the valves keep the blood flowing in the right direction?
Each flap is called a cusp,and forms a portion of a heart or venous valve.Related Information:Bicuspid, or mitral valves are comprised of two cusps. Tricuspid valves are comprised of three cusps. These cusp structuresare called valves.The arteries and veins around the body have valves too, and they work in more or less the same way - stopping blood from going backwards.
What sounds does a 'healthy heart' make?
slow
In what other structures of the circulatory system are valves found?
You have the atrioventricular valves that are the valves separating each atrium from the ventricles. The right AV valve is the tricuspid valve, while the left AV valve is the bicuspid/mitral valve. There are also two valves that lead from the heart to the pulmonary and aortic arteries. These are the pulmonary and aortic valves. They are both semilunar valves because of their shape.
