Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The heart pumps blood through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. From the left ventricle, the blood flows through the aortic valve to the rest of your body.
Detailed explanation-2: -When the left ventricle contracts, the pressure in the ventricle forces the valve to close, while the tendons keep the leaflets coapting together and prevent the valve from opening in the wrong direction (thus preventing blood flowing back to the left atrium).
Detailed explanation-3: -Two of the valves, the mitral and the tricuspid valves, move blood from the upper chambers of the heart (the atria) to the lower chambers of the heart (the ventricles).
