Valviform
Shaped like a valve. 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. Valviform comes from the Latin word "valva" meaning "folding door," and the Latin word "forma" meaning "form." Put the two words together and you get "valve form."
