Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What valve prevents backflow from the right ventricle into the right atrium?
A
Pulmonary semilunar
B
Tricuspid
C
Aortic semilunar
D
Bicuspid (mitral)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The tricuspid valve ensures that blood flows from the right atrium to the right ventricle. It also prevents blood from flowing backward between those two chambers. When the right atrium fills, the tricuspid valve opens, letting blood into the right ventricle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The tricuspid heart valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle and allows deoxygenated blood to flow between them. Once blood has cycled through the body, it is returned to the right atrium, which is located on the right side of the heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -The tricuspid valve controls the flow of blood from your heart’s right atrium (top chamber) to the right ventricle (bottom chamber). Blood can leak backward into the atrium from the leaky tricuspid valve, causing your heart to pump harder to move blood through the valve.
