What is the function of a valve?
A
Helps blood to clot
B
Keeps blood flowing in all directions
C
Keeps blood flowing in one direction
D
Stops blood from flowing
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Heart valves control the flow of blood so that it moves in the right direction. The valves prevent blood from flowing backward. The heart has four valves. The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium and right ventricle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The blood that is meant to leave the ventricles to travel to the body is supposed to be prevented from flowing in the wrong direction by the parts of the aortic and pulmonary valves called the cusps. The cusps help the valves create a tight seal, which helps blood flow in the correct direction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your valves ensure that blood flows only in one direction. These valves are: Aortic valve connects your left ventricle and aorta (large artery that carries blood throughout your body).

Detailed explanation-4: -A check valve, also called a one-way valve, is a device that allows the flow of fluids to move only in one direction. The primary purpose of a check valve is to prevent backflow in the system. Check valves are cheap, effective, and easy solutions to a potential issue.

Detailed explanation-5: -The artery have thick elastic walls and arteries receives blood in high pressure directly from the left ventricle. Because of the high pressure flow of blood from the heart and the elasticity of the vessels, they blood flows only in one direction in arteries.
