A check valve, non-return valve, reflux valve, retention valve, foot valve, or one-way valve is a valve that normally allows fluid (liquid or gas) to flow through it in only one direction. [1] Check valves are two-port valves, meaning they have two openings in the body, one for fluid to enter and the other for fluid to leave. There are various ...
An 8″ integral will typically pump faster than an 18″ tubed. These type of pumps will run the risk of shredding the tube valves, especially on those with presta valves. A simple pump has a cupped fiber or plastic piston. On the forward stroke the air pushes the sides of the cup against the cylinder, so forming a seal; it provides its own valve.
The adductor muscles have been cut, the valves are gaping. The internal anatomy is visible, including the paired siphons to the right A siphon is an anatomical structure which is part of the body of aquatic molluscs in three classes : Gastropoda , Bivalvia and Cephalopoda (members of these classes include saltwater and freshwater snails , clams ...
A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller. [1] This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure , temperature , and liquid level.
The word gastropod comes from Greek γαστήρ (gastḗr 'stomach') and πούς (poús 'foot'), a reference to the fact that the animal's "foot" is positioned below its guts. [7] The earlier name "univalve" means one valve (or shell), in contrast to bivalves, such as clams, which have two valves or shells.
The most common final control element in the process control industries is the control valve. The control valve manipulates a flowing fluid, such as gas, steam, water, or chemical compounds, to compensate for the load disturbance and keep the regulated process variable as close as possible to the desired set point.

In the common femoral vein one valve is located above the saphenofemoral junction called the suprasaphenic valve. There are sometimes two valves in the same tract. In the femoral vein there are often three valves, the most constantly found valve is just below the joining of the deep femoral vein. The deep femoral vein and its perforators have ...
The pedal ganglia, which control the foot, are below the esophagus and their commissure and connectives to the cerebral and pleural ganglia surround the esophagus in a circumesophageal nerve ring or nerve collar. [18] The acephalic molluscs (i.e., bivalves) also have this ring but it is less obvious and less important.
