There are two types of valves: cuspid valves between chambers which are anchored by chordae tendonae in the ventricles and semilunar valves found in the vessels leaving the heart. The left atrium and left ventricle are separated by the bicuspid/mitral valve.
There are also two semilunar valves; one between the right ventricle and the lungs (pulmonary semilunar valve) and one between the left ventricle and the aorta (aortic semilunar valve). The main purpose of the valves is to prevent backflow of blood in the heart. There are things called the chordae tendinae and papillary muscle that help control the opening and closing of the valves as blood flows through them. There are also valves in the veins.
