Uberon Homology note : Extensive conservation of valve developmental mechanisms also has been observed among
vertebrate species including chicken, mouse, and human.[well established][VHOG];
Uberon Terminology note : Rector et al: One might be tempted to define 'heart valve' equivalently to 'valve
in the heart', and 'valve' as a 'structure which functions as a valve'. But this combination
results in the 'foramen ovale' being classified as a kind of 'heart valve', since
it is undoubtedly located in the heart and functions as a valve;
