A heart valve normally allows blood to flow through it in only one direction. There are four in a mammalian heart and they determine the pathway of blood flow through the heart. A heart valve opens or closes depending on the different pressures on each side of it.
Each valve has a set of flaps (or cusps). When working properly, the heart valves open and close fully.
