A few days ago, I posted a blog about what [1] normal heart valves look like.

Well… Here’s a quick, interesting follow-up to that story about each of the four heart valves.

I was just on Youtube.com and came across a very neat video which shows each of the four heart valves opening and closing within during heartbeats - the aortic valve, the mitral valve, the tricuspid valve and the pulmonary valve.

It’s a pretty fascinating video that shows not one but each of the four heart valves, so I thought I would share the link.

I hope this helps better explain how the four heart valves open and close.
Keep on tickin!
