Which valve(s) prevents backflow from of blood into the ventricles?
A
Semilunar Valves
B
Cardiac Valve
C
Mitral Valve
D
Tricuspid Valve
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: -The atrioventricular valves prevent backflow of blood into the atria during ventricular contraction (systole), and the aortic/pulmonic (semilunar) valves prevent backflow of blood into the ventricles during ventricular relaxation (diastole).

Detailed explanation-3: -The semilunar valves act to prevent backflow of blood from the arteries to the ventricles during ventricular diastole and help maintain pressure on the major arteries. The aortic semilunar valve separates the left ventricle from the opening of the aorta.

Detailed explanation-4: -The semilunar valves permit blood to flow into the arteries from the ventricles and prevent the backward flow of blood from the arteries into the ventricles.

Detailed explanation-5: -Aortic Valve Separates the left ventricle from the aorta. Opens to allow blood to leave the heart from the left ventricle through the aorta and the body. Prevents the backflow of blood from the aorta to the left ventricle.
