Why are valves provided within the heart

Solution

Dear student.

The valves present in the heart normally allow the blood to flow in only one direction. There are four valves in the heart – mitral valve, tricuspid valve, bicuspid valve and pulmonary valve. These valves control the flow of blood by opening and closing through the heart at the time of contraction.

Regards.
