2) a valve that everts back into the previous chamber, blockig blood from progressing into the ventricle.
3) a valve that does not close completely, and allows blood to leak back into the previous chamber.
4)a valve with an opening that is too narrow, not allowing for sufficient blood to travel to the next chamber.
