I would assume you mean the tricuspid valve in the heart? Most other blood vessel valves are described as "semi-lunar", meaning they look like a half-moon, have two parts and when they close they completely block the vessel they're in. The tricuspid valve in the heart is composed of three pieces, so they would not be shaped like a half-moon.

Car will shift but not move?

It sounds like you are having problems with the transmission's valve body or your brakes are locked up. This problem is common on Chevy 350 turbo transmissions. Inside of the transmissions oil pan there is a valve near the edge of the case that has a S-shaped linkage. This S-shaped linkage can slip off the valve it controls and the transmission will feel like it goes into gear but not move the vehicle.
