Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which valve prevents blood flow back into the right atrium from the right ventricle and is an AV valve?
A
aortic
B
bicuspid
C
pulmonary
D
tricuspid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Tricuspid valve: This valve has three leaflets. They allow blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle. They also prevent blood from flowing backward from the right ventricle to the right atrium.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tricuspid Valve Separates the top right chamber (right atrium) from the bottom right chamber (right ventricle). Opens to allow blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle. Prevents the back flow of blood from the right ventricle to the right atrium.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer:The valve which prevents back flow of blood in the veins is Semilunar valve.

Detailed explanation-4: -The tricuspid valve is positioned between the right atrium and right ventricle, whereas the bicuspid valve is located between the left atrium and left ventricle. Furthermore, the tricuspid valve has three cusps, whereas the bicuspid valve has only two.

Detailed explanation-5: -The tricuspid valves job is to allow blood flowing into the heart from the body to flow to the right ventricle where it’s pumped to the lungs for oxygen. If the tricuspid valve is leaky, blood can flow backwards, causing the heart to pump harder.
