Valves
One directional valves keep blood in the heart flowing in the right direction. There are three valves: biscupid valve, semilunar valve and tricuspid valve. These open to let the blood flow through then close to prevent the blood flowing back in the wrong direction making the heart less efficient.

valves
There are two ways that blood is kept flowing in the same direction. The heart is pumping it in that direction, and blood vessels contain valves which prevent blood from flowing in the wrong direction.
The veins carries blood from the body to the heart.
Veins. Veins carry unoxygenated blood towards the heart.
Yes, heart valves control the direction of blood flow by opening and closing to ensure that blood flows in one direction through the heart. This helps to maintain the efficiency of the heart's pumping action and prevent backflow of blood.
The structures that prevent the backflow of blood in the heart are the heart valves. These include the atrioventricular valves (the tricuspid valve on the right side and the mitral valve on the left side) and the semilunar valves (the pulmonary valve and the aortic valve). They ensure that blood flows in one direction: from the atria to the ventricles and from the ventricles to the arteries, preventing any reverse flow during the cardiac cycle.
Valves and blood vessels control the flow of blood through the heart. The aorta governs the functioning of these structures by being the main artery in the cardiac system.
The blood goes through the heart in the correct direction because there are a number of one-way valves in the heart chambers that blood can only pass through in the correct direction.
Arteries direct blood away from the heart, while veins direct blood to the heart.
