Valves are membranous partitions which permit the passage of the contents of a vessel or cavity in one direction, but stop or control the flow in the opposite direction.

Valves in the heart enforce a one-way blood flow through the heart and separate atria from ventricles, and ventricles from the large arteries that leave them.

The four valves in the heart and their location is as follows:

tricuspid valve: located between the right atrium and the right ventricle
pulmonary valve: located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery
mitral valve: located between the left atrium and the left ventricle
aortic valve: located between the left ventricle and the aorta.

The valves between the atria and ventricles are called atrioventricular valves or cuspid valves while those at the bases of the large vessels leaving the ventricles are called semilunar valves.

Therefore, it can be said that the valves of the heart are located between atria and ventricles and between ventricles and arteries.

Anemia is a condition where there is deficiency in healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin resulting in pallor or weakness. It results in low level of hemoglobin which is the protein that transports oxygen around the body. Lack of oxygen in the body will result to weakness, shortness of breath and dizziness. Nikoleta's symptoms of malaise, lethargy and being tired is usually caused by too much work of the heart. In anemic patient, the heart has to pump faster than normal because it has to supply red blood cells around the body. Since the heart is working double-time, it usually results to being tired, lethargic and malaise of the person with anemia. Nikoleta's pale skin is attributed also on the fact that she has low supply of red blood cells around the body. If Nikoleta is lethargic and always tired, little things may irritate her immediately, hence, her being cranky
