Introduction:

The transport of blood through the heart is controlled by the opening and closing of the heart valve. There are four forms of heart valves, namely the mitral valve, the tricuspid valve, the aortic valve, and the pulmonic valve. Each valve is located at a different location in the heart and controls the flow of blood, when blood flows through the heart chambers. The right side of the heart contain deoxygenated blood, while the left side of the heart includes oxygenated blood, and the valves separate all the four chambers of the heart.
