Valves
” The aortic valve and pulmonic valve lie between the ventricles and the major blood vessels leaving the heart. As blood leaves each chamber of the heart, it passes through a valve. Your heart valves make sure that blood flows in only one direction through your heart.
Ventricle

Why Are Capillaries Important
” Capillaries are the smallest of the body’s blood vessels. They are only one cell thick, and they are the sites of the transfer of oxygen and other nutrients from the bloodstream to other tissues in the body; they also collect carbon dioxide waste materials and fluids for return to the veins.
