To work efficiently, pipes need a way of regulating how much fluid can pass through them; they also need a way of switching the flow off completely. That's the job that valves do: valves are like mechanical switches that can turn pipes on and off or raise or lower the amount of fluid flowing through them.
Answer by Pegalita. Confidence votes 11.9K. Valves are the doors which allow the proper amount of blood into each ventricle of the heart so it does not explode or push too much into the body. When high blood pressure occurs the culprit can be a defective valve that is leaking or failing to open and close properly.
