A concise question-and-answer guide focusing on the anatomy and function of the heart valves. It covers the names and locations of the four heart valves (tricuspid, aortic, mitral, and pulmonic) and explains their primary function in preventing blood backflow. Additionally, it addresses the sounds produced by the heart during a normal heartbeat and defines angina pectoris, offering a quick reference for medical students or healthcare professionals reviewing basic cardiology concepts. This material is useful for exam preparation and quick review of essential cardiac physiology.
