Which of the following heart valves are mechanical valves? i. Ball Valve ii. Autograft Valve iii. Xenograft Valve iv. Single Leaflet Valve v. Homograft Valve vi. Bi leaflet Valves Correct Answer i, iv, vi
The ball valve, the single leaflet valve and the bileaflet valves are artificial mechanical valves. The incoming or the outgoing blood exerts pressure on these valves and open them, allowing the blood to flow. Once the normal flow of blood due to heart contractions has ceased, the valves close. The Autograft valve, Xenograft Valve and Homograft valves are all valves that have been taken from living beings. The autograft valve is taken from the same human being, mostly from the inferior vena cava. Xenograft valve is a bovine(cow) or a porcine(pig) valve. Homograft valves are valves taken from another human.
