Valvulae
More than one valvula. A valvula is a valve or fold, especially a small one. A valve is a natural structure or man-made device in a passageway, tube, vessel, or hollow organ that allows fluid or partly fluid contents to travel in one direction, but closes to prevent the flow of those contents in the opposite direction. Valvulae comes from the Latin word "valva" meaning "folding door."
