Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As the heart pumps blood, a series of valves open and close tightly. These valves ensure that blood flows in only one direction, preventing backflow. The tricuspid valve is situated between the right atrium and right ventricle. The pulmonary valve is between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your valves ensure that blood flows only in one direction. These valves are: Aortic valve connects your left ventricle and aorta (large artery that carries blood throughout your body). Mitral valve connects your left atrium and left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-3: -The right and left sides of the heart are further divided into two top chambers called the atria, which receive blood from the veins, and two bottom chambers called ventricles, which pump blood into the arteries. The atria and ventricles work together, contracting and relaxing to pump blood out of the heart.
