Question

what is the role of valves​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The heart has four valves - one for each chamber of the heart. The valves keep blood moving through the heart in the right direction. The mitral valve and tricuspid valve are located between the atria (upper heart chambers) and the ventricles (lower heart chambers)

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

When the left ventricle contracts (systole), pressure rises in the left ventricle. When the pressure in the left ventricle rises above the pressure in the aorta, the aortic valve opens, allowing blood to exit the left ventricle into the aorta. When ventricular systole ends, pressure in the left ventricle rapidly drops.
