PCV valve = positive crankcase ventilation valve. Without reading up on them I'm guessing that since it connects the crankcase to the intake, when engine vacuum is highest it goes to more closed while when vacuum is weakest it opens more. It lets the blow-by gases get burned in the engine.
Once upon a time, they didn't have PCVs. Instead the crankcase was ventilated by a hose extending towards the road. Air rushing by (really, the car rushing through the air) created a little suction and all the blow-by gases including unburned gasoline vapor was sucked out and just went into the air. The top of of a cylinder bank had a cap that had an air filter in it and air entered there.
