👉 The term "valvulae" is a medical term that refers to valves, which are small openings or channels in the walls of the heart. These valves help regulate blood flow by preventing backflow and ensuring that blood flows smoothly from one part of the body to another. Valvulas are typically located at the opening of the heart valve (a valve called a mitral valve) and can be divided into three main categories: mitral valve, tricuspid valve, and pulmonary valve.
